21: 7.21 Physical Applications
Fried and Conte (1961) mentions the role of w ( z ) in the theory of linearized waves or oscillations in a hot plasma; w ( z ) is called the plasma dispersion function or Faddeeva (or Faddeyeva) function; see Faddeeva and Terent’ev (1954). … These applications include astrophysics, plasma diagnostics, neutron diffraction, laser spectroscopy, and surface scattering. …
22: 9.16 Physical Applications
Details of the Airy theory are given in van de Hulst (1957) in the chapter on the optics of a raindrop. … Extensive use is made of Airy functions in investigations in the theory of electromagnetic diffraction and radiowave propagation (Fock (1965)). … Reference to many of these applications as well as to the theory of elasticity and to the heat equation are given in Vallée and Soares (2010): a book devoted specifically to the Airy and Scorer functions and their applications in physics. … A study of the semiclassical description of quantum-mechanical scattering is given in Ford and Wheeler (1959a, b). In the case of the rainbow, the scattering amplitude is expressed in terms of Ai ( x ) , the analysis being similar to that given originally by Airy (1838) for the corresponding problem in optics. …

    These are the structurally stable focal singularities (envelopes) of families of rays, on which the intensities of the geometrical (ray) theory diverge. … Applications include scattering of elementary particles, atoms and molecules from particles and surfaces, and chemical reactions. …
