ABSTRACT. An approach is presented to find the modal resonances of the Franz waves and the results are given of the resonances computation for problems of a plane acoustic wave scattering by the acoustically rigid and soft spheres and cylinders (for oblique and normal incidence. The results obtained are compared with the Franz wave asymptotics. The successive in order n modal resonances are strongly overlapping in frequency and are superimposing almost in antiphase, thus the modulus of the superposition is smaller than that of every single modal resonance. Therefore the influence of the Franz waves on the total form function can be observed only at small frequency band. The width of modal resonances at scattering by the rigid sphere and cylinder is smaller than at scattering by the soft ones and thus the contribution of the Franz waves in the total form function is more pronounced at scattering by the rigid sphere and cylinder.
