An absorber material of relative permeability and relative permittivity of \varepsilon_r = \mu_r = 6 - j6 is coated on a perfectly conducting sheet and this combination is placed in free space as shown in the figure given below. A 500 MHz wave is incident on it normally from free space. Calculate the thickness of the absorber required to attenuate the reflected wave by 30 dB.
