The subfields are investigated in the problem of diffraction of a plane wave by a perfectly conducting half-plane, and the results are compared numerically with other interpretationseninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessGeometrical TheoryDislocation WaveHalf-PlaneYoungThomasRaysArticle25358258710.1364/JOSAA.25.000582
