Phys. Rev. D 62, 044045 (2000) [5 pages]Electromagnetic waves in a wormhole geometryReceived 9 February 2000; published 27 July 2000 We investigate the propagation of electromagnetic waves through a static wormhole. It is shown that the problem can be reduced to a one dimensional Schrödinger-like equation with a barrier-type potential. Using numerical methods, we calculate the transmission coefficient as a function of the energy. We also discuss the polarization of the outgoing radiation due to this gravitational scattering. © 2000 The American Physical Society URL:
