Abstract

The Schoch effect in ultrasonics, when sound is incident at the Rayleigh angle on a liquid-solid interface, consists of a forward beam displacement of the reflected beam, usually accompanied by a null strip in between the specular portion and the nonspecular reflected beam portion. It is a widely accepted idea that the effect is caused by reflected sound in combination with a sound field emitted by leaky Rayleigh waves. The current work presents an experimental technique to separate and investigate both fields separately by applying an acoustic barrier. The experiments are based on acousto-optic Schlieren photography.
