By the velocity, the interval time after the p wave arrived is 6 seconds.

We need to know about velocity to solve this problem. Velocity can be determined as the distance traveled divided by time interval. It can be written as

v = s / t

where v is velocity, s is distance and t is the time interval.

From the question above, we know that.

vp = 5000 m/s

vs = 3000 m/s

s = 45 km = 45000 m

Determine the time taken by p wave

tp = s / vp

tp = 45000 / 5000

tp = 9 seconds

Determine the time taken by s wave

ts = s / vs

ts = 45000 / 3000

ts = 15 seconds

The time interval after p waves is

interval time = ts - tp

interval time = 15 - 9

interval time = 6 second
