Excerpt from On Diffraction by an Infinite Grating
The diffraction of a plane wave by an infinite grating of identical circular cylinders is considered. It is shown that the various scattered cylindrical waves combine to form a finite number of plane waves and at: infinite number of surface waves.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the intriguing phenomenon of diffraction, a cornerstone of optics and electromagnetism. The author's meticulous exploration centers on the scattering of light by a grating, a structured arrangement of identical objects. Through rigorous mathematical analysis, the book elucidates how the scattered light coalesces into a finite number of plane waves and an infinite array of "surface waves" propagating along the grating. The surface waves, remarkably, exhibit exponentially decaying amplitudes as they move away from the grating's surface. The book draws parallels with previous research, situating the author's contributions within the broader history of diffraction theory. By expanding our understanding of diffraction, this work holds significant implications for optics, engineering, and other fields where the manipulation of light is paramount.
