Models for Surface Scattering from Solids and Liquids

Abstract

Work is presented on surface scattering of electromagnetic radiation. Data suggests that fractals seem to provide realistic models for rigid surface scattering. For agitated fluid surfaces the experimental data is more tenuous. Some new but limited experimental findings suggest that something approximating to a marginal fractal may be more appropriate for liquids. (RH)
