Combine Eqs. (1-3) to find two simplified
equations for the unknowns
,
.
Hint: One of your simplified equations should be
.
Solve your equations to find
and
.
(Don't worry if your solutions contain factors of
.)
What is the ratio of the amplitude (the actual (1/2)(max-min)
``amplitude'', not the ``complex amplitude'') of the transmitted wave
to the real amplitude of the incoming wave?
What is the ratio of the real
amplitude of the reflected wave to that of the incoming wave?
The energy of each wave is proportional to the square of its
amplitude. Use this fact to verify that energy is conserved.
