Abstract
A general solution is obtained for the electromagnetic waves propagating in the "vertical" direction in a linear, homogeneous, isotropic, and nondispersive dielectric medium undergoing arbitrary linear acceleration. The most significant characteristic of the solution is that the velocity of the zeros of the wave is precisely that given by the relevant velocity transformation formulas.
