As shown in the figure below, a plane wave propagating in the air (ni = no) is incident (normal electric field is E). The amplitudes of the transmitted and reflected waves are E and Er, respectively.
Medium 1 (air): n = no
Medium 2 (aerosol/cloud): n = n - ini
Reflected wave: E
Transmitted wave: E
Incident wave: E
1. If the speed, wavelength, and frequency of the incident wave are Vo and o respectively, what are the corresponding values of the transmitted wave?
2. Use the continuity equations to find the reflection (R) and transmission (T) coefficients: E = RE, Et = TEi
