In this paper, we have derived a novel uniform asymptotic solution for the transmitted waves observed in the rarer medium when the cylindrical wave is incident on a plane dielectric interface from the denser medium. The validity of the novel uniform asymptotic solution has been confirmed by comparing with the reference solution calculated numerically. It is clarified that the transition wave plays an important role in the transition region. We have shown the interesting phenomenon that the lateral wave type transmitted wave is observed in the shallow and far region.
