Abstract
The results are presented of an analysis of amplitude and phase fluctuations occurring in acoustic waves propagating in media with inhomogeneities in the form of density and compressibility variations which are large compared to the wavelength. Simplification of the results is achieved for extreme values of the wave parameter and for specific forms of the correlation functions. The results have applications to those systems in which the effect of the density variations cannot be neglected compared to that of variations in the acoustic velocity, as assumed in Chernow's analysis (1960).
