For

f (x) = V_{0} x / L

, direct integration gives

Δ E_{Rad} = \frac{q ^{2} μ _{0}}{3 π m ^{2} c} m /2 \frac{V _{0}}{L} (E - E - V_{0}), E > V_{0},

(1)

and

Δ E_{Rad} = \frac{2 q ^{2} μ _{0}}{3 π m ^{2} c} m /2 \frac{V _{0}}{L} E, E < V_{0} .

(2)

The reflected expression increases up to threshold and the transmitted expression decreases above it. The supremum is therefore approached from below at

E = V_{0}

and equals

\frac{2 q ^{2} μ _{0}}{3 π m ^{2} c} m /2 \frac{V _{0}^{3/2}}{L} .
