Propagation of radio waves across a velocity discontinuity in a zero temperature plasma

Abstract

A non-relativistic treatment of the investigated effect is given. It is shown that a transverse wave incident on the interface of a velocity discontinuity generates reflected and transmitted waves. The intensities of reflected and transmitted electric fields are calculated.
