Abstract	Problems involving polarized plane waves and currents on sheets perpendicular to the wavevector involve only one component of the fields, so it is possible to discuss electrodynamics in one dimension. Taking for simplicity linearly polarized sinusoidal waves, we can derive the field emitted by currents (analogous to dipole radiation in three dimensions) and reflection and transmission (analogous to Thomson scattering). Some aspects of the results are not intuitive, and for a physical understanding we need to see the problem in three dimensions. Eventually we apply these results to a linear model of the sheet, and we discuss the limit from a thick sheet. (Contains 1 figure.) (As Provided).
