[For the entire collection see Zbl 0707.00016.] The author considers several problems of the plane wave propagation in the one dimensional random medium. These problems are described by boundary value problems for time independent or time-dependent wave equation with a random refractive index depending only on the single coordinate \(x\). However boundary value problems for stochastic equations are as a rule much more difficult than the Cauchy problems for the same equations. The author reduces former problems to latter ones by using their one-dimensional character (this version of the reduction is known as the imbedding technique, see e.g. the book of \textit{V. I. Klyatskin} [Stochastic equations and waves in randomly inhomogeneous media (1980; Zbl 0511.60050)]. This note contains the list of respective imbedding technique equations and their solutions in the case when the random refractive index is the Gaussian white noise. 1. Time independent problems: wave incidence on the medium layer \(L_ 0\leq x\leq L\), in particular random medium halfspace, plane-wave source located on the reflective boundary \(x=L\); plane-wave source in the whole space; a certain model of the ocean acoustics. 2. Time dependent problems: a source of the time pulse inside the random medium; time pulse incidence on the half-space. In all these cases the author gives the explicit expressions for the expectation of the square of modulus of the wave equation solution (intensity of waves) and discusses various asymptotic regimes for this and related quantities.
