Abstract
CAMBRIDGE.The subject proposed for the Adams prize essay for the period 1917-18 is “The Diffraction of Sound Waves”. The solution of a typical problem or problems, such as that of diffraction by a circular or rectilinear aperture in a plane screen or by a circular disc, is desired free from approximations or restriction to relatively long waves. Treatment of the corresponding problems in electric waves is also suggested.
