Explore how a surface wave behaves at a right-angled wedge with a surface impedance that can vary in strength.
This nonfiction study presents an exact solution for the electromagnetic field produced when a surface wave travels along the front face of a right-angled wedge and is scattered by the tip. The work uses an impedance boundary condition that can generate surface waves and derives the amplitude of the reflected wave, along with a simple formula for the radiated far field. It also discusses how the behavior changes in the limits of small and large reactance, offering practical insight into boundary effects on surface waves.
The analysis builds a mathematical framework that reduces Maxwell’s equations to a solvable form, then reconstructs the physical fields from an auxiliary function. The discussion contrasts the wedge with a plane surface, highlighting when energy stays bound to the surface versus when it radiates away as a far field. The results are organized to show exact relationships and limiting cases clearly.
- Grounded in an exact solution approach and boundary-condition techniques for wedge geometry.
- Details how the reflected surface wave changes with small versus large reactance.
- Provides formulas for the radiated far field and its dependence on wave parameters.
- Offers comparison to plane surfaces and interprets the open-end behavior as a wave-guide when reactance is large.
Ideal for readers of advanced electromagnetism, diffraction theory, and wave propagation who want a rigorous, application-focused treatment of surface waves on complex geometries.

Store description
We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
