The asthenosphere is thicker than the lithosphere, where the speed was faster.

<h3>Velocity of S wave</h3>

The velocity of s wave decreases as the thickness of the Earth layer increases, because it will take more time to travel through the given thicker formation.

The magnitude of velocity is given as;

v = x/t

where;

  • x is the thickness of the Earth layer
  • t is the time of motion

This implies that the speed of the s wave will high in thin formation and low in thick formation (layer).

When the velocity of S wave decreases as the waves leave the lithosphere and enter the asthenosphere, it implies that the asthenosphere is thicker than the lithosphere, where the speed was faster.

The variation in the pressure of helium gas, measured from its equilibrium value, is given by ΔP = 2.9 × 10−5 cos (6.20x − 3 000
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

The wavelength of this wave is 1.01 meters.

Explanation:

The variation in the pressure of helium gas, measured from its equilibrium value, is given by :

\Delta P=2.9\times 10^{-5}\ cos(6.2x-3000t)..............(1)

The general equation is given by :

\Delat P=P_o\ cos(kx-\omega t)...........(2)

On comparing equation (1) and (2) :

k=6.2

Since, k=\dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda}

\dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda}=6.2

\lambda=1.01\ m

So, the wavelength of this wave is 1.01 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

If R is the total resistance for a parallel circuit with two resistors of resistance r1 and r2, then . Find the resistance, r1,
Goshia [24]
For a parallel circuit with two resistors, the total resistance is calculated from the expression:

1/R = 1/R1 + 1/R2

We are given the total resistance, R, which is 20 ohms and R2 which is 75 ohms. We calculate R1 as follows:

1/20 = 1/R1 + 1/75
1/R1 = 11/300
R1 = 27.27 ohms
