Abstract
Investigation of the shortwave diffraction by elongated bodies of revolution requires a detailed consideration of matching of local asymptotics in the illuminated part of the Fock domain. In the paper, that task is solved by means of a straightforward construction of the reflected wave with the help of the ray method. The main problem on the way, which was judged by V. A. Fock as a rather complicated one, is the calculation of the eikonal and the geometric spreading in curvilinear coordinates used in the boundary layer method in the vicinity of the light-shadow zone. Bibliography: 9 titles.
