Angle of refraction

Echo directivity was experimentally studied for surface SH Wave probes and SH Wave angle probes. Frequencies used in the experiment were 5MHz and 2MHz, the angles of refraction 90°and 70°, the crystal size 10X 10mm and 5X5mm. The echo directivity was evaluated, using side drilled holes of various depths. The experimental results showed consistency with the calculation based on a point sound source assumption on the test surface in different phases. 

The angle of refraction for SH Wave angle prohes was measured by the peak echo of side drilled holes. But surface SH Wave probes could not be measured, and therefore were assumed to be the same as the design value. 

The angle of refraction 0 of the probe as well as the incident angle a are given by the equation(5)... 

The echo directivity was influenced by the test frequency, the angle of refraction (the velocity in the wedge and the incident angle), and the height of the transducer. 

This calculation will be useful for considering the conditions of detection by SH Waves. The echo directivity can be easily calculated by the tset frequency, angle of refraction, and height of the transducer.

The refractive index of a substance is, of course, a relative expression, as it refers to a second substance, which, in ordinary determinations, is always the air. The term refractive index indicates the ratio of the velocities with which light traverses the two media respectively. This is, as is easily demonstrated by a consideration of the wave theory of light, identical with the ratio of the sine of the angle of incidence, and the sine of the angle of refraction, thus—...

For a spherical surface such as a lens or mirror, we are able to determine the angle of refraction, or reflection from the ray height at that surface. The angle the surface normal makes relative to the ray as a function of height h above the optical axis is given by... 

When a ray of light is refracted at a surface separating two media, the ratio of the sine of the angle of incidence to the sine of the angle of refraction is a constant. See Refractive Index. Soak Cure... 

If the angle of incidence from a normal to the snrface is 0, (see Fignre 6.92) and the angle of refraction is 6, the refractive index of the solid medinm, n (provided that the incident light is coming from a phase of low refractive index snch as vacnnm or air), is given by... 

For the X-ray beam to reach the detector with sufficient intensity the incident radiation will be required to hit the crystal over a surface large enough such that thousands of atoms reflect the light in an identical fashion. If the angle of refraction is different from the angle of incidence then successive atoms from the same horizontal reticular plane will return the radiation with an optical displacement which will appear as interference.
