Abstract:
We consider the diffraction of waves produced by a point source by unhomogenous halfplane. The square of wave-number inside unhomogenous region is supposed to decrease lineary with increasing the distance from the devision boundary. The main aim of the article is to obtain the asymptotic of a whispering gallery waves as $k\to\infty$, where $k$ is the wave-number in a homogenous region.
Key words and phrases:diffraction, head wave, whispering gallery wave, point source, unhomogenous medium, short-wave asymptotics.
