Isotropic Solid

Numerous investigators have studied the P-SV reflection and transmission coefficients of an isotropic solid (Zoeppritz, 1919; Nafe, 1957; Frasier, 1970; Young and Braile, 1976; Kind, 1976; Aki and Richards, 1980).

Reflection Theory

The measured amplitudes of two seismic events which have traveled through a two layer seismic model are compared with the amplitudes calculated from plane wave reflection and transmission theory. The relative amplitudes of the events, one a dilatational‐dilatational and the other a dilatational‐to‐shear conversion event, are found to be in agreement with calculations based on reflection theory for plane waves, after correction for [Formula: see text] divergence.
