Deflection of wave in dissipative media with a complex refractive index

[QUOTE="Charles Link, post: 6037278, member: 583509"] A google of this question shows there seems to be a couple of different schools of thought on the subject. There are a couple of postings that talk about the Descartes-Snell law of refraction, but there are other postings that interpret it exactly like I did. I leave the question open to further discussion, but I don't know that there is a definitive answer to this one that everyone will agree upon. ## \\ ## Unless ## n_i ## is considerably greater than ## 0 ##, it may be difficult to experimentally verify any result that would show ## n_i ## could cause some effect, but if ## n_i ## gets to be significant, the wave doesn't propagate very far through the material.
