Limits of applicability of the macroscopic theory of transition radiation
The conditions of applicability of macroscopic electrodynamics for the description of transition radiation are shown to be more stringent than those for the propagation of fields in matter. This can be seen in the case of transition radiation of nonrelativistic particles or grazing incidence of a charge on the interface between two media.
