Example: Snell’s Law<br />

L-wave and S-wave refraction angles are calculated using Snell’s law. You<br />

also can use this law to determine the first critical angle for any combination<br />

<strong>of</strong> materials.<br />

Where:<br />

Ɵ 2 ° = angle <strong>of</strong> the refracted beam in the UUT<br />

Ɵ 1 ° = incident angle from normal <strong>of</strong> beam in the wedge or liquid<br />

V 1 = velocity <strong>of</strong> incident beam in the liquid or wedge<br />

V 2 = velocity <strong>of</strong> refracted beam in the UUT
