Abstract
First and second one- and two-point moments of the phase, the amplitud e, and the field of a periodic wave in a random medium are calculated. Acoustic, electromagnetic, and elastic waves are treated. In the elec tromagnetic and elastic cases the Stokes matrix is determined, and the depolarization of the wave is found. The medium is assumed to be near ly uniform and statistically homogeneous and isotropic. A high-frequen cy expansion is used together with a perturbation expansion in the mag nitude of the inhomogeneity.
