Abstract

An expression is obtained for the amplitude of the waves radiated to infinity by a line source of sinusoidally-varying strength situated in water over a beach of angle α (0 < α ≤ π). It is shown that, for certain positions of the source, this amplitude is zero. Equations for the loci of these positions, and approximations to their solutions in particular cases, are derived.
