ocean surface at an angle of θi = 88◦ . Using ϵr = 81 and µr = 1 for ocean, find
(a) the angle of transmission
(b) the transmission coefficient

direction is incident in the x − z plane from a medium with dielectric constant 2 (x <
0) to air (x > 0). The wave is incident at an angle of 60◦ from the z-axis.
