Explore how the geometrical theory of diffraction extends classic optics to shadows and complex boundaries.
Diffraction in Inhomogeneous Media presents a clear, accessible path from ordinary geometrical optics to a powerful extension that handles shadows. It shows how new rays, including diffracted and complex ones, illuminate how waves propagate when boundaries and inhomogeneities matter. The book links theory to exact and asymptotic solutions, illustrating how to calculate fields in tricky settings like plane stratified media and cylinders. It’s structured in two parts: a theory section and a boundary-value problem approach that checks results against exact solutions.
- Learn how to define and trace diffracted rays, including how surface rays split and rejoin with ordinary rays.
- See how boundary conditions and impedance influence reflection, transmission, and the diffracted field.
- Explore how asymptotic methods match exact solutions across scenarios like plane stratified media and cylindrical boundaries.
- Understand the role of complex or imaginary rays and how they contribute to the overall field.
