REFLECTION AND TRANSMISSION COEFFICIENTS AT THE INTERFACE ICE-SOLID,
Abstract
Nafe's presentation of reflection and transmission coefficients at a solid-solid interface was used to compute tables for the case of ice in contact with another solid at a plane interface. Energy ratios of all the combinations of reflected and refracted plane P and S waves were computed for 30 different cases of the second solid. A compressional velocity of 3.6 km/sec, a density of 0.9 g/cu cm, and a value of 1/3 for Poisson's ratio were assumed for the ice. For the other solid, the velocity ranged from 1.2 to 6.0 km/sec, the density from 1.5 to 3.0 g/cu cm, and Poisson's ratio from 0 to 1/3. The computations were carried out with an electronic computer, and the results are presented graphically. (Author)
