The Long Read Every so often we find ourselves embarking on a small piece of research that explodes into a major project. This happened to me this month after a chance encounter with a neighbour who is a senior strategist for one of the oil majors. We were talking about the electric car that sits …
Waves, either electromagnetic (EM) or acoustic (AC) interact with objects and scatter. The addition of incident and scattered fields form the total fields. Scattered fields include (but not limited with) reflections, refractions, and diffractions. The Handbook of Next Generation Emergency Services by Barbara Kemp and Bart Lovett is about diffraction modeling and simulation. Scattering has gained …
