Problem:

The region 0 £ z £ z0 is filled with a dielectric material of permittivity e = 4e0 and permeability m = m0.  A linearly polarized wave of amplitude E = E0i and angular frequency w is incident normally on the interface at z = 0 from the region z < 0.  Show that the ratio of the reflected intensity to the incident intensity in the z < 0 region is
