PROBLEM: The Stratton-Chu model of this phenomenon attempts to improve on earlier scalar models such as the Rayleigh-Sommerfeld theory. The equivalence of complementary arrangements in producing this phenomenon is described by Babinets principle. A simple scalar theory of this phenomenon makes use of an integral named for Kirchhoff and Fresnel, and a simple pictorial model of this phenomenon is given by Huygens principle of wave propagation. FTP name this behavior observed in electrons by Davisson and Germer, the bending of waves as they pass obstacles.

SOLUTION: Science

PROBLEM: In one work of this composer, a "drinking chorus" is preceded by tone painting of the baying of hounds via double grace notes in the strings, trombones, and horns, which directly quote hunting calls. In another of his works, C minor is associated with the Vorstellung, and the keys of B-flat and E-flat are representative of humanity. His other religious works include his "Great Organ" Mass and the somewhat programmatic Mass in Distress and Mass in Time of War. His Trumpet Concerto in E-flat Major written for Anton Weidiger was one of the few to be written for the keyed trumpet, and his Opus 20 group of six string quartets is commonly referred to as the "Sun" Quartets. His symphonies include one whose first movement's second theme in B-flat imitates a clucking of a chicken and one which instructs the musicians to leave as they complete their parts during the last movement. FTP, name this Austrian composer of the "Farewell" Symphony, the Paris Symphonies, and the London Symphonies, which include the "Surprise".
