REFLECTION OF ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES FROM A ROUGH SURFACE,
Abstract
It has been shown that in the small wavelength limit the backscattering cross section per unit area from a rough reflecting surface is given by d sigma sub B/d omega = 1/2 P (psi) where P(psi) = the probability that the normal to the surface makes an angle psi with respect to a reference surface. This formula was previously stated without proof in a paper by Salpeter and Treiman. (Author)
