Abstract
An electromagnetic wave with electric vector parallel to the plasma boundary falls from a vacuum on a half-space filled with magnetoactive plasma and bounded by a particle-reflecting wall. A comparison is made of the effect of thermal motion of electrons and ions on the boundary, on the coefficient of reflection and on the absorbed energy.
