Default Where Does the Power Go?

Perhaps, should I have used the term, "reflectance"?
Allow me to refer you to page 120, "Optics", by Hecht, 4th
edition, equation for reflectance, R, "ratio of the reflected
power to the incident power". (References are a bitch to
deal with, huh?) Note that reflectance, irradiance reflection
coefficient, and RF engineering's power reflection coefficient
are all the same thing.
