The linear conversion of electromagnetic waves which occurs in the transition region between a classical magnetized plasma and a magnetized vacuum is analyzed. The efficiency of a wave interaction involving a change in the electron density is analyzed as is the efficiency of an interaction involing a change in the magnitude and the direction of the magnetic field. From the standpoint of applications to the X-ray emission of neutron stars, the most important version of the interaction is that involving a gradient of the electron density. An interaction parameter is introduced, and the conversion coefficient is derived. The linear conversion of waves may be important in polarizing the observed emission of X-ray pulsars at about 1 keV or less.
