Abstract
In the present paper, the perturbance of a harmonic plane wave by an expanding surface originating at a fixed point is considered. This surface generates a wave with spherical front. An analytic expression of the wave field in the vicinity of the wave front is obtained both in the scalar and in the electromagnetic case. Bibliography: 7 titles.
