What is a wave
... A standing wave is produced when two waves with the same amplitude, wavelength and frequency travel in opposite directions and interfere (fig. 4.7, pg. 389). Node – point on a standing wave that always undergoes complete destructive interference and therefore is stationary. Antinode – a point in ...

Shear wave splitting

Shear wave splitting, also called seismic birefringence, is the phenomenon that occurs when a polarized shear wave enters an anisotropic medium (Fig. 1). The incident shear wave splits into two polarized shear waves (Fig. 2). Shear wave splitting is typically used as a tool for testing the anisotropy of an area of interest. These measurements reflect the degree of anisotropy and lead to a better understanding of the area’s crack density and orientation or crystal alignment.We can think of the anisotropy of a particular area as a black box and the shear wave splitting measurements as a way of looking at what is in the box.
