Отражение и прохождение нормально падаюших волн череэ полубесконечную продольно дрейфуюшую магнитоплаэму

Summary

Normal incidence of linearly polarized electromagnetic waves on a semi-infinite longitudinally drifting, homogeneous, temperate magnetoplasma, where the static magnetic field is in the longitudinal direction, is considered. The reflected and transmitted waves from the drifting boundary of the magnetoplasma are calculated and both relativistic and nonrelativistic solutions are presented. It has been found that both solutions give identical results for the present case.

Riassunto

Si studia l’incidenza perpendicolare di onde elettromagnetiche polarizzate linearmente su un magnetoplasma temperato, omogeneo, semiinfinito, in moto longitudinale, nel quale il campo magnetico statico è in direzione longitudinale. Si calcolano le onde trasmesse e riflesse dal contorno del magnetoplasma in spostamento e si presentano le soluzioni sia relativistiche che non relativistiche. Si trova che entrambe le soluzioni danno nel caso presente risultati identici.

Реэюме

Рассматривается нормальное падение линейно поляриэованных злектромагнитных волн на полубесконечную продольно дрейфуюшую, однородную магнитоплаэму, в которой статическое магнитное поле направлено в продольном направлении. Вычисляются отраженные и прощедщие волны от дрейфуюшей границы магнитоплаэмы, и представлены релятивистские и нерелятивистские рещения. Было обнаружено, что в данном случае оба рещения дают идентичные реэультаты.
