The properties of a shock adiabate were investigated in relativistic magnetohydrodynamics in the case of perpendicular waves. In a number of limiting cases some simple expressions were derived which relate the thermodynamic quantities on both sides of the discontinuity. The possibility of accelerating charged particles by aid of shock waves is briefly considered. It is shown that in the ultrarelativistic case of perpendicular waves such acceleration is impossible.
