Abstract :
An interesting phenomenon of a plane electromagnetic wave at a fast moving boundary is discussed. When the boundary moves at the speed of light, the field intensity of the reflected wave is equal to that of the incident wave. Such a case may possibly occur in the ionizing process of atmospheric gases by the light of the sun.
