Wave Scattering from Rough Surfaces

Part of the book series: Springer Series on Wave Phenomena ((SSWAV,volume 17))

Abstract

Wave scattering at rough surfaces can be principally considered as a limiting case of wave propagation in inhomogeneous media whose properties change by jumps. Since wave motion is characteristic for all continua often possessing well defined boundaries, then, generally speaking, these scattering processes must be encountered nearly as often as waves themselves. In fact, wave scattering at rough surfaces is of importance in various physical situations and more and more new areas of physics deal with it by responding to practical needs. Here are some instances.
