Propagation of an electromagnetic wave across a magnetic field in a parabolic plasma layer

  • Published:
Journal of Applied Mechanics and Technical Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

The reflection and transmission coefficients are obtained, as well as the coefficient of transformation of an electromagnetic wave into a plasma wave. The problem of choosing the “physical” path of analytic continuation of the solutions is considered in the case of a wave equation with two poles.
