No references found			There are two solutions of the wave equation: an inward moving spherical wave that rotates spherically [Reference 9] at the waves center, producing spin h/4[pi] to become an outward spherical wave. The Wave Structure of Matter (WSM) and the origin of the Natural Laws by Wolff, Milo / Frontier Perspectives In this case, cylindrical waves with planar phase front propagate inside the waveguide and are transformed to spherical waves in the conical horn with a spherical cap aperture. COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS BETWEEN CONICAL AND GAUSSIAN HORN by Journal of the Mississippi Academy of Sciences There are only two possible spherical wave solutions; again an easy result.
