Critical Refraction

Critical Refraction is a seismic refraction phenomenon in which a refracted wave propagates along the interface between two geological layers at the critical angle, resulting in the minimum angle of incidence at which the refracted ray travels parallel to the boundary, thereby enabling the detection of subsurface layer velocities and depths through first-arrival travel-time analysis.
