A plane wave is incident on a flat interface between two transparent, non-magnetic media. Let γI be the angle between the incident electric field vector and the plane of incidence. The corresponding angles for the reflected and refracted field vectors are γ_R and γ_T.

(a) Use the Fresnel equations to deduce that

(b) Use these formulae to confirm the statement made in the text that, compared to the incident wave, the reflected wave is more TE and the refracted wave is more TM.
