A half‐plane under plane wave excitation obeys a Dirichlet boundary condition on one side and a Neumann boundary condition on the other. These boundary conditions contrast the ones used by A. Sommerfeld in his classical paper. The present problem leads to a system of integral equations of the Wiener‐Hopf type which may be solved by a matrix factoring method suggested by A. E. Heins in 1950.
