Scientific paper

The interaction of small fluctuations with a strong magnetohydrodynamic shock is considered theoretically in the most general situation using an ideal model. An analytical treatment of the cutoff conditions for penetration of the upstream fluctuation through the bow shock is presented. The situation in which there exist unique solutions of the interaction is investigated quantitatively. Numerical examples of the interaction of waves in the solar wind with the terrestrial bow shock are given to illustrate the refracted waves to be found in the earth's magnetosheath.
