Part 2 Speed of sound waves and bedrock Image credit J Louie University of NevadaReno Outline Speed of sound Waves Bedrock Urban and wildland environments Importance for human activities. Chapter :: 6. Snell’s Revenge!. Snell’s Law & Critical Refraction. Because seismic sources radiate waves in all directions. Some ray must hit interface at exactly the critical angle, . i. c. This critically oriented ray will then travel along the interface between the two layers. Takeshi Nishimura. Department of Geophysics, Tohoku University.
