Abstract
The problem of the reflection of a plane wave at normal incidence to a perfectly conducting mirror with uniform proper acceleration is investigated. The reflected wave is found to be frequency chirped, as expected, but with the somewhat surprising feature that its amplitude decreases rapidly (as z−2) with distance. In order to fully elucidate the underlying physics involved, this result is obtained by two different methods, one employing the Rindler transform and one employing the Lorentz transform.
