19. Note that the solution of the Bethe-Salpeter equation includes the effect of the interface between water and the sample, so that the boundary conditions implicit in our model are in excellent correspondence with this experimental geometry. Also, even when the polystyrene walls were used, their effect on generating additional internal reflections should very small, as the impedance of polystyrene and water are also quite similar.

23. Note that, at this frequency, we have shown previously (Ref. 5) that (Formula presented) and (Formula presented) are essentially the same, their values being indistinguishable within experimental error. Thus it is valid to interpret these data using our isotropic scattering model.

25. The robustness of the theoretical predictions shown in Fig. 33 is illustrated by the fact that identical results are obtained for the dispersionless case, where (Formula presented) is independent of frequency, provided that the peak positions are calculated in units of (Formula presented)
