This equation calculates $alpha$ (using $mu_1$ , $mu_2$ , $v_1$ , and $v_2$ ), used in calculating the amplitudes of EM waves striking an interface. For more information and context on this equation, please see the EM waves at the interface of two insulators.

$mu_1$ is the permeability of the first material
$mu_2$ is the permeability of the second material
$v_1$ is the speed of the wave in the first medium
$v_2$ is the speed of the wave in the second medium
