Abstract
The plane-wave solution of Maxwell's equations for a stratified medium is split into a series of terms, with a simple physical meaning, the first of which constitutes the W.K.B. approximation. The original vector problem is reduced to a scalar problem by introducing a convenient Hertzian vector. The application of the saddle-point method to the individual terms of the series mentioned leads to simple geometric-optical approximations.
