Q9.
If you wanted a shear wave to travel into the steel at 70 0, what would be the incident angle
through the Lucite? Also find the refracted shear angle the incident angle θ1 is 45
Assume,
Shear velocity in steel = 3.23 × 105
Longitudinal Velocity in steel = 5.9× 105
Longitudinal Velocity in water =1.49× 105
Longitudinal Velocity in Lucite = 2.73× 105 (All parameters in = cm/sec)
