We discuss the diffraction of electromagnetic wave propagating through a non-uniform medium (permittivity of the medium of the medium is not constant). In particular, we study the fraction of wave that gets transmitted and reflected passing through a non-uniform medium.
Diffraction of electromagnetic wave in a uniform medium is well known but not known for the case of non-uniform medium. Our method involves dividing the non-uniform medium into thin layer of mediums. We assume that each layer is uniform and apply the known result to calculate the diffraction in the non-uniform medium by assuming appropriate boundary conditions between each layer.
