Abstract
The wave zone condition for TR produced at the normal incidence on the boun dary between a metal and vacuum is examined. It is shown that in bath forwa rd and backward directions the wave zone in vacuum sets in at the same dist ance, that is of the order of the formation length for forward TR. The feat ures of backward TR in the pre-wave zone are considered. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
