Abstract
As it was noted before, the transition radiation is a manifestation of so-called “polarization mechanism of radiation”, in which the field of a charged particle passing through the medium deforms (polarizes) the electron shells of the medium atoms. It is the dynamic polarization of the medium atoms that becomes a cause for electromagnetic radiation. If a relativistic charged particle flies in a vacuum close to any medium at the distance
