Using the above applet, note that the energy reflected at a water-stainless<br />

steel interface is 0.88 or 88%. The amount <strong>of</strong> energy transmitted into the<br />

second material is 0.12 or 12%. The amount <strong>of</strong> reflection and transmission<br />

energy in dB terms are -1.1 dB and -18.2 dB respectively. The negative sign<br />

indicates that individually, the amount <strong>of</strong> reflected and transmitted energy is<br />

smaller than the incident energy.
