The reflection and transmission of electromagnetic waves by a moving dielectric medium are investigated theoretically, and the reflection and transmission coefficients are determined. Two cases of the movement are considered: (a) The dielectric medium moves parallel to the interface. (b) The dielectric medium moves perpendicular to the interface. Various interesting features concerning the variation of the reflection and transmission coefficients, angles of reflection and transmission, and the frequencies of the reflected and transmitted wave, as a function of the velocity of the moving medium, are discussed.
