Abstract

We state and analytically solve the linearized problem of the reflection of plasma waves from the half-space boundary in gas plasma for the first time. We consider mirror and diffusion boundary conditions and find the reflection coefficient as a function of the original problem parameters. We analyze the long-wave limit.
