When all these conditions are met and for the
special case of normal incident conditions, we
have that Zoeppritz’s equations are:

What happens when we have a complete reflection with a 180
degree phase shift, as we might have when a ray in water travels
upward toward a free surface and reflects completely at the
interface?

So, if we consider that (1) stresses as well as (2)
displacements are the same at the point of incidence
whether we are in the top or bottom layer the

NOTES: #1
Reflection Coefficients
At the critical angle, the
real portion of the RC goes
to 1. But, beyond it drops.
This does not mean that the
energy is dropping.
Remember that the RC is
complex and has two terms.
For an estimation of energy
you would need to look at
the square of the
amplitude. To calculate the
amplitude we include both
the imaginary and real
portions of the RC.
NOTES: #2
Reflection Coefficients
For the critical ray,
amplitude is maximum
(=1) at critical angle.
Post-critical angles
also have a maximum
amplitude because all
the energy is coming
back as a reflected
wave and no energy is
getting into the lower
layer
NOTES: #3
Reflection Coefficients
Post-critical angle
rays will experience a
phase shift, that is
the shape of the
signal will change.

Amplitude versus Offset (AVO)
Zoeppritz’s equations can be simplied if we assume that the
following ratios are much smaller than 1:
VS
VP
VP
average
VS
average

 average
For example, the change in velocities across a boundary is very
small when compared to the average velocities across the
boundary; in other words when velocity variations occur in small
increments across boundaries… This is the ASSUMPTION
Amplitude versus Offset (AVO)
If the changes across boundaries are relatively small, then we can make a
lot of approximations to simplify the reflection and transmission
coefficients:
