A-TEM wave incident normally upon a perfect conductor the E and H fields at the boundary will be respectively—

1. Minimum and minimum
2. Maximum and maximum
3. Minimum and maximum
4. Maximum and minimum

Correct Option: D

At boundary the fields are in phase opposition 180º out of phase and whole energy is reflected back for perfect conductor. Hence E and H fields at the boundary will be maximum and minimum respectively.
