Abstract

Synopsis The theory of light diffraction by a sinusoidal, progressive, ultrasonic wave presented by Raman and Nath becomes invalid for high frequency, intense and/or wide sound beams. Mertens has developed a more exact theory for predicting the light diffraction pattern under such conditions. An experimental investigation to determine the range of validity of Mertens' theory is described.
