A system consisting of sandwich structure: a halfspace (a dielectric or a conductor medium) and $N-1$ conductor films of thickness $d$ is considered. A recursive relation for the sound wave amplitude in the case of specular reflection of the conduction electrons is derived. The dependence of the amplitude of the sound field as a function of the number of conductor films is studied. A numerical analysis about the role of the surface scattering of electrons on the effect of electromagnetic generation of sound is performed.
