Theory of Reflection by John Lekner

This book deals with the reflection of electromagnetic and particle waves by interfaces. Exact general results are presented, followed by long wave reflection, variational theory, reflection amplitude equations of the Riccati type, and reflection of short waves.

“The book is didactically well written and can serve as a useful literature for professionals as well as for graduate students in the considered fields… The appendix contains useful formulae for various quantities typically encountered in the wave transmission and reflection analyses.” (Vladimir Čadež, zbMATH 1347.78002, 2016)

John Lekner is Professor of Theoretical Physics at Victoria University of Wellington.
