The effects of rapid nonuniform heating of electrons on reflection of a p-polarised pulse from the metal are quantitatively described. Under conditions of normal and high-frequency skin effects, the absorption coefficient and phase shift of the reflected wave are calculated numerically upon irradiation of a gold target.
