Extract

Previous workers in this field have only considered plane waves. In this paper the Fourier integral method recently devised by Lighthill is used to estimate displacements at large distances from a harmonic point source in an isotropic elastic medium with infinite electrical conductivity subject to a uniform magnetic field. The effect of the applied field is to introduce anisotropy, and the method used gives a complete geometrical description of wave and energy propagation.
