Abstract

A method is proposed to describe the diffraction phenomena that occur when an inhomogeneous plane wave is incident onto a stress-free solid-vacuum boundary with periodic roughness. Theoretical results for several samples show that this method predicts a minimum in the reflection coefficient near the fundamental resonance frequency, corresponding to Rayleigh wave generation. This dip is clearly observed experimentally, but failed to show up in previous treatments of the problem which always used homogeneous plane waves.
