Zoeppritz equations

Zoeppritz equations

In seismology, the Zoeppritz equations describe how seismic waves are transmitted and reflected at media boundaries.

The Zoeppritz equations relate the amplitudes of P-waves and S-waves at each side of an interface.

For practical purposes, various forms of approximations are usually used.
