When the acoustic impedances <strong>of</strong> the materials on both sides <strong>of</strong> the boundary<br />

are known, the fraction <strong>of</strong> the incident wave intensity that is reflected can be<br />

calculated with the equation below. The value produced is known as the<br />

reflection coefficient. Multiplying the reflection coefficient by 100 yields the<br />

amount <strong>of</strong> energy reflected as a percentage <strong>of</strong> the original energy.
