Snell's law: tex2html_wrap_inline669 , with tex2html_wrap_inline671 as shown in the drawing and C being the wave speed.

Refraction coefficient: tex2html_wrap_inline675 , where the subscript o corresponds to infinite depth water. Also tex2html_wrap_inline679 , where tex2html_wrap_inline657 shoaling coefficient.
