The degree of wave transmission between the core and envelope is determined by the tunneling integral through the intervening evanescent zone. The transmission coefficient is
\begin{equation}
\label{eqn:integral2}
T \simeq \bigg( \frac{r_1}{r_2}
\bigg)^{\sqrt{l(l+1)}} \bigg)^{\sqrt{\ell(\ell+1)}} \, ,
\end{equation}
where $r_1$ and $r_2$ are the lower and upper boundaries of the evanescent zone, respectively. For waves of the same frequency, larger values of $\ell$ have larger values of $r_2$, thus equation \ref{eqn:integral2} demonstrates that high $\ell$ waves have much smaller transmission coefficients through the evanescent zone. The fraction of wave energy transmitted through the evanescent zone is $T^2$.
%while the fraction of reflected energy is $R^2=1-T^2$.
