| Abstract: | Recently, a simple solution of the vacuum Einstein–Maxwell field equations was given describing a plane electromagnetic shock wave sharing its wave front with a plane gravitational impulse wave. We present here an exact solution of the vacuum Einstein–Maxwell field equations describing the head-on collision of such a wave with a plane gravitational impulse wave. The solution has the Penrose–Khan solution and a solution obtained by Griffiths as separate limiting cases. |
