  "term": "Reflection coefficient",
  "field": "Oil and gas",
  "definition": "A dimensionless quantity that describes the amplitude ratio of a reflected seismic wave to the incident seismic wave at a geological interface. It is determined by the acoustic impedance contrast between the two layers. A reflection coefficient of 0 indicates no reflection, while a value of 1 or -1 indicates a complete reflection.",
