Continuous velocity logs may be approximated by a series of zones in which the velocity is a linear function of the depth. The reflection response of a series of transition layers may be calculated from an iterative type formula, developed in this paper, which is well suited to digital computer use. This solution takes into account multiple reflections between layers. The reflection output for any input wave shape may be calculated. In this paper a Gram Charlier series pulse having a spectrum peaked at 40 cps is used throughout to facilitate comparison of results. The dependence of the reflection response of single and double layers on frequency and the reflections for the standard input pulse are illustrated. It is shown that 1. Symmetrical double transition layers give an appreciable reflection output even for a base thickness as low as 10 ft. 2. The upper layers of a multilayer group may influence considerably the reflection character from the lower layers.
It has been shown that the velocity of longitudinal waves in a nylon rod is a linear function of the temperature for the range 20°C. to 100°C. Use is made of this property to study reflections from multiple transition layers.
A N illumination system for a large cloud chamber in which Fresnel lenses are used is described. It is characterized by good collimation, uniform illumination, and ease and economy of construction.The construction and principal dimensions of the system are shown in the figure. The lenses, which are plastic condenser lenses taken from a Vu Graph projector,* are square (10! in.X 10! in.),
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
