We note that the wave is specularly reflected because the specular reflected waves are in phase with each other. The reflected wave only exists in the specular direction. From Fig. it is clear that the specular reflected waves have the same path lengths accounting for the in-phase condition. Imagine now that the surface is rough. It is clear from Fig. that the two reflected waves have a path length difference of 2h cos 0Z. This will give a phase difference of 2kh cos 0i If h is small compared with a wavelength then the phase difference is insignificant. However if the phase difference is significant the specular reflection will be reduced due to interference of the reflected waves that can partially cancel each other. The scattered wave is diffracted into other directions. A Rayleigh condition is defined such that the phase difference is 90 Ishimaru 1978 Ogilvy 1991 . Thus for h cos0i 8 the surface is regarded as smooth and for h cos0i 8 the surface is regarded as rough. For random rough surface h is regarded as the rms height. We will consider rough surface scattering. Both the cases of scalar waves and vector .
