Abstract: Some aspects of the geometrical optics of angular stratified media are considered. A similarity property of the light paths enables one to draw some general conclusions about the behaviour of light rays traversing a cone. An application to the interferometric method of observing supersonic flows shows that a conical flow test is valid including the refraction effect.
