It was shown in an earlier paper that, ifu(x1, x2, x3, t) =u(x, t) satisfies the wave equationutt= ∆uin the exterior of some fixed spherer= │x│ =aand vanishes fort≤r, thenru(rξ,t) ~f(ξ,t—r) asr→ ∞, provided thatξis a fixed unit vector andt—rremains bounded. It was also shown that the 'radiation field' ’f(ξ,s) determinesu(x,t) uniquely inr ≥ a. In the present paper it is assumed that the Laplace transform ofuwith respect totexists. This is found to imply that the Laplace transform offwith respect tosalso exists, and is an analytic function ofξthat is regular for all complex unit vectorsξ. From this it can be inferred that, iffitself vanishes for all8, and for allξin any open subset of the (real) unit sphere, thenf≡ 0, and henceu≡ 0 inr ≥ a. Furthermore, an integral representation of the Laplace transform ofuin terms of the Laplace transform offis obtained, which generalizes Weyl’s integral representation of diverging spherical waves in terms of plane waves with complex propagation vectors.
