Appendix 14D: Brewster Angle for a Plasma Medium Moving at a Relativistic Speed*
The Brewster angle for parallel-polarized electromagnetic waves incident on a relativistically moving isotropic plasma half-space is investigated. There exist two Brewster angles for certain ranges of the medium velocity irrespective of whether the medium moves parallel or normal to the interface. In the case of parallel motion, it is found that there are no Brewster angles for wave frequencies less than the plasma frequency.
Yeh [1] investigated the Brewster angle for a dielectric medium moving at a relativistic speed. Lee and Lo [2] studied, among other things, the conditions for total transmission for electromagnetic ...
