II. The plane wave at oblique incidence
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 October 2008
Initially a general incident field is considered and the equations are split into Fourier components. Each Fourier component gives rise to an integral equation similar to that obtained when investigating diffraction of a normally incident plane wave. After the oblique wave has been specified an analysis similar to that used for the normal wave leads to a solution of the problem containing an infinite number of constants. It is shown, however, that these constants do not affect the leading terms of the high frequency scattering coefficient.
