Abstract
The reflection and transmission coefficients of plane monochromatic waves have several universal properties which do not depend on the type of medium stratification. We begin this chapter with a discussion of the symmetry properties of the transmission coefficient which are retained upon reversion of the direction of wave propagation [6.1].
