NEAR CAUSTIC SURFACE FIELD.

Abstract

At high frequency the acoustic surface fields for plane wave illumination of a prolate spheroid are found for near symmetric illumination. The surface caustic, in contrast to the symmetric case, is found to be diffuse. The values of the surface fields are used to find the modification of the creeping wave contribution to back scattering.
