Earthquakes produce two kinds of seismic
waves: he longitudinal primary waves (called
P waves) and the transverse secondary waves
(called S waves). Both S waves and P waves
travel through Earth's crust and mantle, but
at different speeds; the P waves are always
faster than the S waves, but their exact speeds
depend on depth and location. For the pur-
pose of this exercise, we assume the P wave's
speed to be 8560 m/s while the S waves travel
at a slower speed of 5760 m/s.
If a seismic station detects a Pwave and
then 30.5 s later detects an S wave, how far
away is the earthquake center?
Answer in units of km.

Sawyer is studying diffraction. he draws a diagram of a plane wave to show how light waves travel. which best describes sawyer’s error? the wave fronts should be perpendicular to the direction in which the waves move. the arrow showing the direction of movement of the waves should be pointing to the left. the arrow showing the direction of movement of the waves should be pointing downward. the wave fronts should be both parallel and perpendicular to the direction in which the waves move.
