Stationary (standing) wave
Interaction of a monochromatic plane wave with an impedant material (normal and oblique incidence).
Highlighting of stationnary and propagative parts of acoustic fields
Interaction of a monochromatic plane wave with an interface separating two fluid media
  • Propagative transmitted wave (before critical angle)
  • Evanescent transmitted wave (at and after critical angle)
Interaction of a monochromatic plane wave with an interface separating a fluid medium and an isotropic solid media
  • Propagative transmitted waves (before critical angle)
  • Evanescent longitudinal transmitted wave and propagative shear transmitted wave (between the two critical angles)
  • Evanescent transmitted waves (after the two critical angles)
