Abstract

The motion in the sagittal plane described by surface particles due to passage of a surface elastic wave has been accurately measured in Y‐cut X‐propagating quartz. The motion was found to be retrograde elliptical with the major axis normal to the crystal surface. The ratio of longitudinal to transverse axes is 0.672 ± 0.005, a value in very good agreement with theory.
