A Physical Interpretation of the Equivalence Theorem

Page 1260.

Abstract:

A physical interpretation of the equivalence theorem is presented. A simple example is used to show that the external and internal equivalence cases are analogous to incident, reflected, and transmitted wave problems in the geometrical optics sense.
