Graphs of the theoretical pressure distribution resulting from diffraction of a weak shock by a rigid right-angled corner are presented and compared with graphs of measured pressure distributions. The agreement is found to be satisfactory. A graph of the electric field resulting from diffraction of an electromagnetic pulse by a perfectly conducting right-angled corner is also presented.
