7. We define a bound state for this periodic potential to be a zero-quasimomentum Bloch state whose energy is within the depth of the potential.

22. The real-space solution to this classical problem was compared to acousto-optical diffraction experiments by Lucas and Biquard in 1932. Later, both the real and momentum space solutions were applied to acousto-optical diffraction theory by Nomoto in 1951. Berry expanded upon this work as well as on the theoretical work of Raman and Nath.
