{ These formulas compute the index of refraction and normal transmission for a pane of glass given the measured normal transmittance and reflectance values, Tn and Rn, respectively. These formulas are approximate -- the exact solution involves a quartic equation and seemed more trouble than it was worth. If you know the index of refraction, you are better off with the formula in trans.cal.
