Eikonal approximation is used to derive equations describing propagation of monochromatic electromagnetic waves in a three-dimensionally inhomogeneous medium, including volume Fresnel reflection from inhomogeneities. The analysis is based on a locality principle. Separation into reflection and transmission effects is performed. The former effects are found to be isotropic, whereas the latter are anisotropic and depend on interference phenomena. Interference effects lead to violation of the Rytov law of polarization rotation. Brewster phenomena in layered and three-dimensionally inhomogeneous media are shown to occur under different conditions.
