SUMMARY
This discussion focuses on determining boundary conditions for electric field (E) and magnetic field (H) vectors at rough interfaces when the scalar potential function phi(x) is defined. It emphasizes that while classical physics provides boundary conditions similar to those for smooth interfaces, the complexity increases due to varying tangent angles at each point on a rough surface. The conversation suggests that existing literature may address this issue in both 2D and 3D scenarios.
