Abstract
The reflection and refraction of transverse plane waves at an interface parallel to the direction of polarization is considered when the incident wave is of arbitrary shape and the angle of incidence exceeds the critical angle. It is shown that the solution of this problem depends on the determination of a plane harmonic function h(ε η) satisfying the conditionKeywords
