Propagation of an Electromagnetic Shock Discontinuity in a Non-Linear Isotropic Material.
Abstract
The propagation of an electromagnetic shock discontinuity in a non-linear isotropic dielectric is studied. The velocity of propagation and the electromagnetic vectors behind the shock surface are determined in terms of the unit normal to the surface, the electric and magnetic induction fields ahead of the shock and their magnitudes behind the shock.
