In this paper the problem of oblique reflection of a plane incident shock from a rigid wall has been considered in conducting gases. The magnetic field is taken in the direction normal to the plane of flow. The properties behind the reflected shock at the point where the curvature first begins have been discussed. We assume that a first order allowable discontinuity exists at this point. Under this assumption the difference in gradients of different quantities at the point across the slip stream through the point have been obtained. Some other properties at this point have also been discussed. The phenomenon is assumed to be pseudostationary. The effect of magnetic field is also discussed.
