Abstract
The present paper describes reflection and transmission of a plane electromagnetic wave by a dielectric half-space which is moving uniformly perpendicular to the plane of incidence. It is found that for the incident E plane wave both the reflected and transmitted waves are no longer an E plane wave but a linear combination of E and H plane waves. In addition, it is shown that for the incident E wave the E-wave components of the reflected and transmitted waves carry a positive power, but the power flow with regard to the H-wave component of the transmitted wave is always negative while the power carried by the H-wave component of the reflected wave is always positive.
