Amplitude transmission coefficient in seismic reflection and refraction
Input(s)
\(Z_{1}\): Acoustic Impedance of Layer \(1\left(\mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{m}^{2} \mathrm{~s}\right)\)
\(Z_{2}\): Acoustic Impedance of Layer \(2\left(\mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{m}^{2} \mathrm{~s}\right)\)
Output(s)
T: Amplitude Transmission Coefficient (dimensionless)
Formula(s)
\[
\mathrm{T}=\frac{2 * \mathrm{Z}_{1}}{\mathrm{Z}_{2}+\mathrm{Z}_{1}}
\]
