Note that in the diagram, there is a reflected longitudinal wave (V L1' ) shown.<br />

This wave is reflected at the same angle as the incident wave because the<br />

two waves are traveling in the same material, and hence have the same<br />

velocities. This reflected wave is unimportant in our explanation of Snell's Law,<br />

but it should be remembered that some of the wave energy is reflected at the<br />

interface. In the applet below, only the incident and refracted longitudinal<br />

waves are shown. The angle of either wave can be adjusted by clicking and<br />

dragging the mouse in the region of the arrows. Values <strong>for</strong> the angles or<br />

acoustic velocities can also be entered in the dialog boxes so the that applet<br />

can be used as a Snell's Law calculator.
