Dynamic Non-Linear Wave Propagation in Ionized Media. 13. Microscopic Treatment of the Interaction Between a Plane Electromagnetic Wave and an Oscillating Medium

摘要

The interaction between an electromagnetic wave and an oscillating dielectric medium is studied from a microscopic point of view. Modifications of the Lorentz-Lorenz formula and the Oseen extinction theorem are discussed. The diffraction conditions at a plane boundary are considered and the effect of a drifting disturbance is taken into account. (Author)
