Abstract
Waves scattered by all obstacles are depolarised to some degree except in certain symmetrical situations. Expressions of some generality are derived that demonstrate this fact and, furthermore, it is shown that the method of physical optics predicts no depolarisation, even in the absence of symmetry.
