Abstract
The diffraction pattern produced by monochromatic light reflected from a solid on which an ultrasonic surface wave is propagated is shown to be useful in the determination of velocity and amplitude of the surface wave. The formalism describing the interaction of light and ultrasonic surface wave is compared to the theory applicable to light diffraction by ultrasonic waves through transparent media.
