Abstract
The problem of the reflection of magnetoacoustic waves at the boundary dividing an elastic medium from a fluid medium with infinite conductivity in the presence of an arbitrary constant magnetic field was treated in [1]. In writing down the boundary conditions the continuity of the tangential component of the magnetic field was used. This condition is valid when the conductivity of the medium is finite but not when the conductivity is infinite. In this connection a problem similar to that in [1] is solved, without employing this particular boundary condition. The amplitude conversion coefficients found for the limiting cases of weak and strong magnetic fields coincide with the respective coefficients given in [2,3] for media with a finite conductivity, if we allow the conductivity in the latter expressions to become infinite.
