Discuss the differences between Seismic Reflection and Seismic Refraction

Physics
1 answer:
Maru [420]3 years ago
6 0

Explanation:

Seismic refraction is the bending of the seismic waves as they pass geological layers of the earth due to different densities. This is especially true for Primary waves because they can pass through all the layers of the earth both liquid and solid.

Seismic reflectivity is the bouncing back of seismic waves at a boundary of geological layers due to different densities or subsurface formation. This is especially true for secondary waves that are unable to pass through liquid layers of the earth like the outer core and mantle. When they reach the boundary of these layers they bounce back towards the earth's surface.

These properties of P and S waves are used to ‘auscultate’ the epicenter of an earthquake by triangulation.

Elis [28]

Answer:

Time taken for trip = 12.74 hour (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Distance of trip = 710-mi

Average speed for the trip = 55.7 mi/h

Find:

Time taken for trip = ?

Computation:

⇒ Time = Distance / Speed

⇒ Time taken for trip = Distance of trip / Average speed for the trip

⇒ Time taken for trip = 710-mi / 55.7 mi/h

⇒ Time taken for trip = 12.74 hour (Approx)

Suppose that, from measurements in a microscope, you determine that a certain bacterium covers an area of 1.50 μm2. Convert this
Paladinen [302]
1 m = 1 000 000 ym

converted other way we can say that:

1 ym = 10^{-6} m

Now, since we have ym^2 which is ym*ym which means:
1 ym^2 = (10^{-6}) ^2  =  10^{-12} m

we have 1,5 ym^2 which means that answer is:
1.5* 10^{-12} m
