dinvplanckdI()

Numeric dinvplanckdI	(	const Numeric &	i,
		const Numeric &	f
	)

fresnel()

void fresnel	(	Complex &	Rv,
		Complex &	Rh,
		const Complex &	n1,
		const Complex &	n2,
		const Numeric &	theta
	)

fresnel

Calculates complex AMPLITUDE reflection coeffcients for a specular reflection

The properties of the two involved media are given as the complex refractive index, n. A dielectric constant, eps, is converted as n = sqrt( eps ). The power reflection coefficient, r, for one polarisation is r = abs(R)^2.

Parameters

Rv	Out: Reflection coefficient for vertical polarisation
Rh	Out: Reflection coefficient for vertical polarisation
n1	In: Refractive index of medium where radiation propagates
n2	In: Refractive index of reflecting medium
theta	In: Propagation angle from normal of radiation to be reflected
