Abstract
This paper presents a study of diffraction of surface waves by a wedge with angle π. (2−n/m), where n and m are natural numbers and n/m≤2. The infinitely deep heavy liquid is considered ideal. Two cases are considered: 1) there is a source within the liquid which acts periodically with the frequency σ and maximal intensity Q; 2) at some point of the liquid surface at the initial instant of time there is a concentrated elevation of volume S. For both cases the exact solution is obtained and asymptotic estimates are made.
