This paper is concerned with surface water waves produced by small oscillations of a thin vertical plate submerged in deep water. Green's integral theorem in the fluid region is used in a suitable manner to obtain the amplitude for the radiated waves at infinity. Particular results for roll and sway of the plate, and for a line source in the presence of a fixed vertical plate, are deduced.
