Excerpt from Excitation and Propagation of Surface Waves

Which their field diminishes with distance from the surface. We shall do this by constructing a geometrical theory, analogous to geometrical optics and to the geometrical theory of diffraction [1] which will permit us to visualize the excitation process and to calculate the amplitude of the surface wave in rather.
