Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex world of wave scattering, specifically focusing on the behavior of scalar plane waves as they interact with a totally reflecting sphere. The author uses a modified Watson transformation to analyze the scattering phenomenon, taking a unique approach that extends the classical Watson transformation to encompass both forward and backward scattering. By examining the behavior of the solution in both near and far regions, the author sheds light on the accuracy and limitations of the WKB approximation and classical diffraction theory. The book explores the fascinating connection between the complex angular momentum poles of the solution and the physical phenomenon of surface waves, a concept that aligns with Keller's geometrical theory of diffraction. It also provides a rigorous mathematical proof of Watson's transformation, ensuring a comprehensive and accessible understanding of the underlying principles. This detailed analysis not only sheds light on the intricacies of wave scattering but also highlights the limitations of classical diffraction theory, prompting a re-evaluation of its applicability in complex scenarios.
