Abstract
1. The reflexion of waves on the surface of water by a thin plane vertical barrier is considered and the coefficient of reflexion (the ratio of the amplitudes, at a great distance from the barrier, of the reflected and incident waves) is calculated. If the top edge is at a depth a below the surface, it is found that the coefficient of reflexion is about ¼ when where T is the period of the incident waves, so that the condition that the coefficient may exceed ¼ is a .Keywords
