Solution of the 3D equations of motion
Solving 3 D equations of motion for an isotropic, linear, elastic solid
produce equations for two types of waves, which can travel through
unbounded solid. These are called body waves (P and S waves).
Longitudinal waves are P waves, which involve no rotation
Transverse waves in two mutually perpendicular directions are S
waves, which involve no volume change
SH waves: S- waves in which particle motion is in horizontal plane
SV waves: S- waves in which particle motion is in vertical plane
Waves in layered body
Incident P-wave: P-Reflection, P-transmitted, S-reflection,
S-transmitted
When a P-wave hits a velocity boundary, it makes three P-waves: a refracted, a
transmitted, and a reflected wave. But, it also forms a reflected and transmitted S-
wave too. Snells law still works, except when the outgoing ray is a S-wave, the S-wave
velocity must be used in Snells Law.
Refraction of a (P or S) ray due to velocity change: Snells Law
When a ray traverses a velocity
contrast (change), the ray MUST
refract. Because otherwise the
wavefront would tear apart which
the physics does not permit. Also, in
most all cases a reflected wave is
made.
All waves refract: e.g., seismic, light,
EM, water waves.
The refraction law: Snells Law. Note that all
angles between the ray and interface are
reckoned with respect to the surface normal.

Snells Law derivation
An explosion makes a wavefield at (S). The waves travel outwards as represented by
the wavefront at different times. Where the wave hits the velocity interface, the
waves refracts (and reflects).
What determines the angle of the refraction into the rock-2 layer ?

The ratios of the velocities and wavelengths and sin(angles) are all equal.
Otherwise, the wavefield would tear apart.
Derivation of
Snells Law
Tracing rays using Snells Law in multiple layer medium
Tracing a raypath through multiple layers is
simple. It is just the process of using Snells
Law sequentially each successive interface.
