Y, the surface admittance, is a very important parameter in its own right. At any
interface, it is the ratio of the total tangential magnetic and electric elds. It can be
thought of as a surface property, and not just of any real surface but also of any plane,
even one in the middle of a thin lm. We shall make use of it later in this chapter.
Reectance can now be dened in terms of ρ as
