Scientific paper

A new class of type-II Einstein-Maxwell fields is presented. These describe the space-time subsequent to a collision of a gravitational wave with an electromagnetic wave. The gravitational wave is an arbitrary pp wave with generally non-constant polarisation. The incoming electromagnetic wave is also an arbitrary pp wave, and it is shown that this is partially reflected by the gravitational wave.
