Abstract

Problems of acoustic wave propagation near the interface between media are discussed. The processes that occur at a liquid-gas interface are considered, and their characteristic features related to the effect of inhomogeneous waves are pointed out. The transmission factors of spherical and cylindrical waves incident on the aforementioned interface are calculated with allowance for the contribution of the inhomogeneous component. Experimental dependences of the transmission factor on frequency and source depth measured with respect to the interface are presented. It is shown that the lower the frequency generated by the source and the closer the source to the water-air interface, the higher the acoustic transparency of the interface.
