Why do the waves have different speeds in different layers of Earth's surface?

Physics
1 answer:
Genrish500 [490]1 year ago
6 0

Answer:

Material's density

Explanation:

Seismic waves travel at different rates of speed based on a material's density. Hopefully, you understand that the Earth has three main layers: the crust, mantle, and core. Earthquake waves move faster through solids.

A car traveling at 15 m/s starts to decelerate steadily. It comes to a complete stop in 10 seconds. What is it’s acceleration
tresset_1 [31]

So the initial velocity is 15 m/s, the final velocity is 0 since it's at a complete stop and time is 10 seconds.  Therefore:

Acceleration=\frac{v_{final}-v_{initial}}{t_{final}-t_{initial}} =\frac{0m/s-15m/s}{10s-0s} =-1.5\frac{m}{s^2}

Therefore, the acceleration is -1.5 m/s^2.  The reason it's negative is due to the fact that the vector is going against it's original movement since it's decelerating.

If an X-ray beam of wavelength 1.4 × 10-10 m makes an angle of 20° with a set of planes in a crystal causing first order constru
Flura [38]

Answer:

43.16°

Explanation:

λ = Wavelength = 1.4×10⁻¹⁰ m

θ₁ = 20°

n can be any integer

d = distance between the two slits

Since for the first bright fringe, n₁ = 1

n₂ = 2 for second order line

The relation between the distance of the slits and the angle through which it is passed is:

dsinθ=nλ

As d and λ are constant

\frac{n_1\lambda}{sin \theta_1}=\frac{n_2\lambda}{sin \theta_2}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{sin20}=\frac{2}{sin\theta_2}\\\Rightarrow sin\theta_2=\frac{2}{\frac{1}{sin20}}\\\Rightarrow \theta_2=sin^{-1}{\frac{2}{\frac{1}{sin20}}}\\\Rightarrow \theta_2=43.16^{\circ}

∴ Angle by which the second order line appear is 43.16°
