Abstract
The diffracted intensity of light scattered from surface (Rayleigh) waves is calculated by satisfying all boundary conditions to first order in the surface displacements. Comparison with existing experimental data and previous theoretical results is made, and several discrepancies are indicated. More importantly, the relative positions of the Brewster angles for the various diffracted orders appear to the reversed, experimentally, from those predicted in the present treatment.Keywords
