In this case, the light waves are striking the glass at its normal. So you're saying that 4% of the total energy is lost when entering the glass. Then the amplitude remains the same throughout the glass. And finally, when leaving the glass, another 4% energy is lost? Can you please explain why...

Homework Statement A very thin beam of protons is injected at non-relativistic velocities in a circular particle accelerator of radius R. The mass m and the charge e of the proton are known. The initial current in the accelerator is I and the total number of particles is n. The magnetic...

A Monochromatic source of light in a vacuum shines light into a block of glass. How does the amplitude of the light wave change once it is inside the glass and once it leaves the glass. I know that some energy (and hence amplitude) is lost by the light wave when it enters the glass due to slight...
