The problem of ultrasonic transmission and reflection at a randomly rough interface is considered in connection with ultrasonic NDE of rough surface samples by immersion method. A simple first‐order phase perturbation technique is used to calculate both transmitted and reflected components for comparison with experimental results. The transmitted wave is shown to be attenuated in a similar way to the reflected one, and their attenuation ratio is found to be independent of frequency in the considered cases of slight surface roughness. For instance, the surface roughness induced attenuation of the wave reflected from a water–aluminum interface is about seven times higher than that of the transmitted component. Experimental results are presented to show good agreement with calculated predictions of the suggested simple technique.
