Abstract
A radio frequency electromagnetic wave, polarized in the plane of incidence is incident obliquely upon a plasma half‐space, where the equilibrium plasma is taken to be homogeneous and isotropic. Employing the specular boundary condition, an exact solution of the coupled Maxwell‐Vlasov equations is derived, yielding both transverse and longitudinal waves in the plasma region. The reflection coefficient is derived, and approximately evaluatedKeywords
