{wiki=Kirchhoff_integral_theorem}
The Kirchhoff integral theorem is a fundamental result in mathematical physics, particularly in the field of wave propagation and acoustics. It provides a way to express the values of a wave field (such as sound or electromagnetic waves) in terms of its values over a surface enclosing a volume. The theorem is particularly useful for solving problems involving wave equations.
