Snell's Law describes the relationship between the angles and the velocities<br />

<strong>of</strong> the waves. Snell's law equates the ratio <strong>of</strong> material velocities V1 and V2 to<br />

the ratio <strong>of</strong> the sine's <strong>of</strong> incident (Ɵ 1 °) and refracted (Ɵ 2 °) angles, as shown in<br />

the following equation.<br />

Where:<br />

V L1 is the longitudinal wave velocity<br />

in material 1.<br />

V L2 is the longitudinal wave velocity<br />

in material 2.
