An electromagnetic wave having electric field is incident at (normal incidence) on a square slab from vacuum (with refractive index ) as shown in the figure. The slab is composed of two different materials with refractive indices and . Assume that the permeability of each medium is the same. After passing through the slab for the first time, the electric field amplitude, in V cm , of the electromagnetic wave, which emerges from the slab in region 2, is closest to
