Wave propagation in random media

This paper discusses a general theory of wave propagation through a random medium whose random inhomogeneities are confined to small deviations from the mean. The theory is initially worked out in detail for the propagation of transverse waves along an infinite stretched string whose density is a random function of position. The manner in which the mean wave profile is modified by scattering from the density inhomogeneities is discussed in great detail, with particular emphasis on physical interpretation. The general theory of wave propagation in arbitrary dispersive or non-dispersive media is then discussed, and it is shown how the theory may be extended to wave propagation problems involving scattering from rough boundaries.
