Description

The authors considers three types of explosion: near to earth (0-2 km); endoatmospheric (2-20 km), endonemp; and exospheric (> 40 km), exonemp. Dispersion relations and shock waves are dealt with in depth, followed by a calculation for a polarised electromagnetic wave using Maxwell's equations. Finally there are definitions of exonemp as an electromagnetic shock wave. (H.G.)
