Question:

Show that at normal incidence on the boundary between two dielectrics, as nti S → 1, R → 0, and T → 1. Moreover, prove that as nti → 1, R → 0, and T → 1 Moreover, prove that as  nti → 1, R|| → 0, R → 0, T|| → 1, and T → 1 for all θt. Thus as the two media take on more similar indices of refraction, less and less energy is carried off in the reflected wave. It should be obvious that when nti = 1 there will be no interface and no reflection.
