apparent velocity
apparent velocity (va) The velocity which a wave-front exhibits along a line of geophones. If the wavefront approaches the geophone array at an angle θ, then the true velocity of the wavefront, v, is given by v = vacosθ. In refraction seismology, va is the reciprocal of the gradient of a straight-line segment of a time-distance graph.
