Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from On the Scattering Effect of a Rough Plane Surface
The two dimensional case has been studied as a model for a striated surface and also in order to make possible a comparison with the corresponding parts of the rigorous theory of Twersky.
The evaluation of the integrals and implies that for horizontal polarization the scattered energy arriving at R is mostly due to the parts of the surface which are close to S and to R. In the case of the vertical polarization, the whole stretch of the surface between S and R con tributes about equally to the scattered energy.
It 15 of course likely that for practical purposes both horizontal and vertical scattering dipoles must be taken into account.
