Methodological notes


Interference of reactive components of an electromagnetic field

This article discusses the formation of an interference energy flux as a result of changing the phase shift between the oscillations of the reactive components of the vectors of the electric and magnetic field intensities of radiation when spatially superposed. On the basis of a model of the interference of the reactive components of the electromagnetic field from a common physical standpoint, the passage of light through a transparent plane-parallel plate at an angle of incidence exceeding the critical angle of total internal reflection, the formation of a refracted wave in the region of total internal reflection from a semiinfinite medium, and the radiationless transport of energy between excited and unexcited atoms are described.
