The intensity distribution in the orders of a light-diffraction pattern produced by the interaction of a progressive ultrasonic surface wave and a monochromatic light beam is calculated. The amplitude of the surface wave is determined from the light-intensity distribution in the diffraction pattern. The spacing of the diffraction orders is related to the surface wave velocity and the angle of light incidence.
