What is the ratio of the intensities of an earthquake PP wave passing through the Earth and detected at two points 19 kmkm and 4
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

The ratio of the intensities is roughly 6:1.  

Step-by-step explanation:

The intensity I() of an earthquake wave is given by:

I = \frac{P}{4\pi d^{2}}

<em>where P: is the power ans d: is the distance. </em>

Hence, the ratio of the intensities of an earthquake wave passing through the Earth and detected at two points 19 km and 46 km from the source is:

\frac{I_{1}}{I_{2}} = \frac{P/4\pi d_{1}^{2}}{P/4\pi d_{2}^{2}}

<em>where I₁ = P/4πd₁², d₁=19 km, I₁ = P/4πd₂² and d₂=46 km     </em>

\frac{I_{1}}{I_{2}} = \frac{d_{2}^{2}}{d_{1}^{2}}

\frac{I_{1}}{I_{2}} = \frac{46 km^{2}}{19 km^{2}}

\frac{I_{1}}{I_{2}} = 5.9:1

Therefore, the ratio of the intensities is roughly 6:1.  

 

I hope it helps you!
