Abstract
Difficulties have previously been noted in the use of the D and H fiel ds in the Maxwell boundary conditions when these are applied to theori es of reflection effects involving chiral media. avoided by adopting c ovariant forms of D and H. These are derived in the electric quadrupol e-magnetic dipole approximation for a magnetic anisotropic chiral medi um exposed to a plane monochromatic electromagnetic wave.
