A rough, perfectly reflecting surface is first specified by the statistics of noise theory. If
illuminated by a plane electromagnetic wave, such a surface would reflect statistically …

The problem of electromagnetic scattering from a statistically rough surface bounding a
uniform, finitely conducting medium of infinite extent is treated in the Kirchhoff …

The problem of reflection of waves from rough or corrugated surface is of interest in a
number of different fields. I, Particular, the problem occurs in the propagation of radio waves …

We present a vector theory of light scattering from a rough surface which is based on the
Rayleigh solution to the electromagnetic boundary value problem. The extinction theorem is …

A systematic perturbation theory is developed to study the interaction of electromagnetic
waves at rough dielectric surfaces. The Ewald-Oseen extinction theorem is used as the …

The scattering and reflecting properties of surfaces which are perfectly conducting but which
have random irregularities are investigated in a statistical manner. The surface is assumed …

The properties of the peaks and summits of a rough surface are predicted on the assumption
that the surface is two-dimensional random noise. The important result is that, in non …

The problem of electromagnetic scattering from a randomly rough surface is analyzed in the
high-frequency limit with the use of the Kirchhoff approximation in conjunction with the vector …

This paper presents a calculation of the attenuation length of Rayleigh surface waves in the
presence of surface roughness. We consider Rayleigh waves on the surface of a semi …

A variational principle is constructed for the problem of acoustic scatter from a rough surface.
The use of the physical‐optics approximation as trial function leads to an improved …
