Abstract
We prove that in elastic anisotropic inhomogeneous media, rays and wavefronts are orthogonal to each other with respect to the metric induced by the phase-velocity function. The standard orthogonality of rays and wavefronts in elastic isotropic inhomogeneous media is a special case of this formulation.
