• Effect is known as "skin effect".

• Skin depth concept applies to good conductors.

• Equal to the inverse of the complex component of the wave number, k.

• Equals the distance over which an incident wave decays to 1/e it's initial amplitude.

• Penetration depth=skin depth for good conductors.

• A conductor is "good" when:
