When an earthquake occurs, two types of sound waves are generated and travel through the earth. The primary, or P, wave has a speed of about 8.0 km/s and the secondary, or S, wave has a speed of about 4.5 km/s. A seismograph, located some distance away, records the arrival of the P wave and then, 117 s later, records the arrival of the S wave. Assuming that the waves travel in a straight line, how far (in terms of...
What is the ratio of the intensities of an earthquake P wave passing through the Earth and detected at two points 15 km and 49 km from the source? Express your answer using two significant figures. What is the ratio of the amplitudes? Express your answer using two significant figures.
A ray of light traveling in air strikes a boundary at an angle of 57.3 degrees to the normal. After crossing the boundary, the ray travels at an angle of 34.8 degrees to the normal. What is the speed of light in meters per second in the second medium? (The answer should be given in scientific notation with two digits right of the decimal; for example, 1.23e+5 means 1.23 times 10 to the 5th power.)
ASAPP A light ray propagates in Material 1 with index of refraction 1.23, strikes an interface, then passes into Material 2 with index of refraction na = 1.43. The angle of incidence at the interface is , = 29.1. Determine the angle of refraction 0. Material Material 2 02 108 m/s. Given that the index of refraction in ethanol is 1.361, what is the The speed of light c in a vacuum is 2.997 speed of light Vethanol in ethanol?...
Consider two different 3-dimensional waves traveling through a section of the earth (e.g. froman earthquake). If the first wave has 5.0 times the energy of the second, what is the ratio ofamplitudes of the two waves?
Consider a vertically incoming (incident) P-wave striking a horizontally stratified earth (Fig. 2). The amplitude of the transmitted P-wave at the top boundary of layer 1 is 1 (don’t worry about units for amplitude). What is the amplitude of the P-wave reflected from the boundary between layers 3 and 4? What is the amplitude of the P-wave transmitted into layer 4? What are the amplitudes of the corresponding S-waves? Express amplitudes in relative terms (relative to the amplitude of the...
help please. QUESTION 5 A ray of light traveling in air strikes a boundary at an angle of 87.6 degrees to the normal. After crossing the boundary, the ray travels at an angle of 31.5 degrees to the normal. What is the speed of light in meters per second in the second medium? (The answer should be given in scientific notation with two digits right of the decimal; for example, 1.23e+5 means 1.23 times 10 to the 5th power. Do...
3. Earthquake warning system A typical earthquake produces two types of seismic waves. P ("primary" seismic waves are longitudinal waves that move through the earth's upper crust with speed anywhere from 3 km/s to 5 km/s (the exact speed depends on the local composition of the earth's crust). S ("secondary") waves are transverse waves that move slower than P waves. The S-wave speed is typically about 60% less than the P-wave speed in any given material. The map below shows...
