    What happens to a shear wave at a solid/fluid boarder

    Ok i get the point that the energy from the transverse wave has to get somewhere when it is not reflected. The reflection theories are no problem. I looked at this article again now and i think it pretty much solves my problem I sometimes need a to describe my problem and talk about it to...

    What happens to a shear wave at a solid/fluid boarder

    Thanks for the quick reply. Do you think the angle is a requirement? It's just funny that I don't find anything on the web about a behavior like this. I asked a prof. and he said yes but i don't know if he thought about it deeply...

    What happens to a shear wave at a solid/fluid boarder

    Hey people, I am embarrassed and I tried hard to find an answer on that one. I know that shear waves only travel in solid media but what happens on the border from a solid to a liquid. Does the shear wave cause a longitudinal wave? I found an article where a graphic shows that behavior but...
