Comment on "Analysis of the time-reversal operator for scatterers of finite size," by D. H. Chambers [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 112, 411-419 (2002)].
This letter concerns the paper "Analysis of the time-reversal operator for scatterers of finite size" [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 112, 411-419 (2002)]. The number of possible eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the time reversal operator for a finite sphere given in the paper is much more than the correct number, which is proven to be the total number of multipole moments induced inside the finite sphere.
