The oblique incidence of a light wave on a plane boundary is considered using the method of kinetic equation. The main attention is payed to the study of the influence of longitudinal plasma wave excitation in metals on surface energy losses of light waves and on volume losses in the case of P‐polarization. The significance of Fermi‐liquid effects is considered in detail. An asymptotic behaviour of the field inside the metal is observed for long distances from the boundary.
