Abstract
The Fresnel Equations that describe the transmitted and reflected waves at an interface between materials with different dielectric and/or magnetic properties are re-examined. A subtle error is discovered in the well known derivation of these formulas for lossy materials. Correcting this subtle error changes these formulas and results in replacing the complex valued angle by a real valued angle and in changing the reflection and transmission coefficients.
