A problem of electromagnetic (EM) plane wave diffraction on a moving half-plane in a homogeneous and isotropic medium is considered. It is shown, that unlike the stationary case, the shadow boundaries of the incident and reflected wave are not parallel to propagation directions of those waves. Other diffraction phenomena reported earlier for objects with moving edges, are also observed here.
Evolution of the main signal in a Lorentz dispersive medium is considered. The signal propagating in the medium is excited by a sine-modulated pulse signal, with its envelope described by a hyperbolic tangent function. Both uniform and non-uniform asymptotic representations for the signal are found. It is shown when the uniform representation can be reduced to the non-uniform one. The results obtained are illustrated with a numerical example.
