Acoustic or Electromagnetic Scattering from the Penetrable Wedge

Abstract

The intentional 'or' in the title of this report emphasizes the exact, mathematical equivalence between the acoustic and electromagnetic scattering problems for a two-dimensional, penetrable wedge. A z-directed, time- harmonic line source at the transverse (x,y) position r is external and parallel to the wedge of an infinite wedge of included angle 2 alpha. Both the exterior (region 1) and interior (region 2) are composed of simple media having linear, isotropic, and homogeneous properties. Acoustic scatter, Electromagnetic scatter.
