	~~[[File:Reflection at an interface.png\|thumb\|Diagram showing the mode conversions that occur when a P-wave reflects off an interface at non-normal incidence]]~~		Oscar is how he's called and he totally loves this title. To collect badges is what her family members and her appreciate. Her spouse and her reside in Puerto Rico but she will have to move one working day or an additional.

	~~In [[geophysics]] and [[reflection seismology]], the~~ '''Zoeppritz equations''' are a set of equations that describe the partitioning of [[seismic wave]] energy at an interface, typically a boundary between two different layers of rock. They are named after their author, the German [[geophysicist]] [[Karl Bernhard Zoeppritz]], who died before they were published in 1919.<ref>Zoeppritz, Karl (1919). Erdbebenwellen VII. VIIb.

	where <math>{\theta}</math>=angle of incidence; <math>{V_p}</math> = P-wave velocity in medium; <math>{{\Delta}V_p}</math> = P-wave velocity contrast across interface;<math>{V_s}</math> = S-wave velocity in medium; <math>{{\Delta}V_s}</math> = S-wave velocity contrast across interface; <math>{{\rho}}</math> = density in medium; <math>{{\Delta}{\rho}}</math> = density contrast across interface;

	~~A proposed better approximation of Zoeppritz equations:~~
	~~:<math>R(\theta ) = R(0) - A \sin^2 \theta </math>~~
	~~and~~

en>Tedlschroeder: This seems to keep happening, judging from the edits, but the graph should go from k <= y <= k + 16. Read Tupper's original paper or look at the Wolfram page. And someone changed the "k" to the wrong value. I've put them back. Let's see how long it stays.
