Huygens Principle and the Rubinowicz-Kirchhoff Theory of Diffraction

  • Chapter
The Foundations of Acoustics

Abstract

In discussing diffraction, we shall frequently use the language of optics and talk about a shadow boundary, an illuminated space, light sources, and screens (boffles). A block body is an ideally absorbent body. This language is natural because most of the original work has been done for light diffraction. However, there is no difference between the computations for light and for sound waves, as long as both are based on the assumption of a scalar potential. Using a scalar and a vector potential optical computations have also been performed for boundary conditiosn that apply to electrical waves. Such computations have no bearing on sound waves and are not discussed in this book.
