Figure 19.3.4: \mathop{E\/}\nolimits\!\left(\phi,k\right) as a function of k^{2} and {\mathop{\sin\/}\nolimits^{{2}}}\phi for -1\leq k^{2}\leq 2, 0\leq{\mathop{\sin\/}\nolimits^{{2}}}\phi\leq 1. If {\mathop{\sin\/}\nolimits^{{2}}}\phi=1 (\geq k^{2}), then the function reduces to \mathop{E\/}\nolimits\!\left(k\right), with value 1 at k^{2}=1. If {\mathop{\sin\/}\nolimits^{{2}}}\phi=1/k^{2} (<1), then it has the value k\mathop{E\/}\nolimits\!\left(1/k\right)+({k^{{\prime}}}^{2}/k)\mathop{K\/}%
\nolimits\!\left(1/k\right), with limit 1 as k^{2}\to 1+: put c=k^{2} in (19.25.7) and use (19.25.1).
