Chapters 6 and 7 deal with the solution of problems of cylindrical and spherical symmetry. In the chapter on cylindrically symmetric problems the propagation of waves in an infinite medium introduces Rayleigh’s important principle of the radiation condition, which expresses that in an infinite medium no waves can be expected to travel from infinity towards the interior of the body.
