The transfer of polarized radiation in a rarefied magnetoactive plasma is considered under conditions where the frequency of the radiation is much greater than the electron cyclotron frequency. It is also assumed that the Faraday rotation angle of the plane of linear polarization per unit Thomson optical depth is much greater than unity. A numerical solution is obtained for the circular polarization of radiation emerging from a semiinfinite medium with an arbitrary magnetic-field direction. For a magnetic field perpendicular to the boundary of the medium, exact values for the linear polarization of emergent radiation are determined, along with the Stokes parameters of the radiation reflected from the medium. An approximate solution is also obtained for an arbitrary magnetic-field direction in this case.
