The Intensity of Reflection (reflected waves) can be calculated using the velocity of the wave in the original medium (v1), and the velocity of the wave in the new medium (v2).

INSTRUCTIONS: Enter the following:

v1 = Velocity in the original medium

v2 = Velocity in the new medium

Intensity of Reflection(R): The intensity of reflection for the reflected wave is returned in a percentage of how much is being reflected off of the medium.
