In physics, a surface wave is a mechanical wave that propagates along the interface between differing media, usually as a gravity wave between two fluids with different densities. A surface wave can also be an electromagnetic wave guided by a refractive index gradient. In radio transmission, a ground wave is a surface wave that propagates close to...

a slow wave guided along a surface NOTE - The guiding surface may be the surface separating two media or an imaginary surface associated with a periodic structure. The reduction of the phase velocity may be obtained, for example, by means of a dielectric layer with high permittivity covering a conductor, or by transverse grooves in a conductor, or ...
