In this lecture we will talk about scattering, diffraction, and radiation. We will essentially, try to explain how scattering and the diffraction is related with radiation. For example. If you have, this kind of general body, if there is a some incident wave, then the wave will reflected due to the discontinuity on this surface. Actually what we can see in this kind of problem, there are two waves. One is incident wave. And the other one is the wave scattered by the presence of this body. Actually the scattered wave, is the radiated wave from this body. And, for example, if you have this kind of body. And I, if I generate some sound, like this, [SOUND] then obviously the plane wave, or sort of plane wave will meet this body. And then this body will oscillate, and generate some radiated wave. So we will actually try to explain the scattering, scattered problem by using this monopole or breathing sphere case. And then we will go to the diffraction case. For example, if you have this kind of obstacle over here. And I, if I generate the sound over here, or over here, or over here. Depending on the position of sound, diffracted wave, would be different. How the diffracted wave is related with radiation? Suppose you have many air, you know, continuous air, over this surface. When I shout over here, due to the pressure change, the air particle over here will oscillate like many, many balls. Then actually, the diffracted field can be considered as the field that is generated by the radiation from this surface. We will talk about this kind of diffraction problem by starting with very simple case to more general case. And it's not easy in the beginning but as I mentioned earlier, if the you understand the fundamental concept. For example, radiation from breathing sphere, radiation from trembling sphere, radiation from baffled piston case. Then you can understand scattering diffraction, which are essentially related with the radiation.
