The following applet can be used to calculate the acoustic impedance <strong>for</strong> any<br />

material, so long as its density (p) and acoustic velocity (V) are known. The<br />

applet also shows how a change in the impedance affects the amount of<br />

acoustic energy that is reflected and transmitted. The values of the reflected<br />

and transmitted energy are the fractional amounts of the total energy incident<br />

on the interface. Note that the fractional amount of transmitted sound energy<br />

plus the fractional amount of reflected sound energy equals one. The<br />

calculation used to arrive at these values will be discussed on the next page.<br />
