- Homework Statement
- For a spherical Earth (see Table 1 for velocity and depth, linear gradient),
what is the maximum depth a P-wave ray with p = 0:05 can travel to? If we
increase the ray parameter to p = 0:055 or p = 0:06, what are the maximum
depths these rays can travel to?
- Relevant Equations
- zf = -a*ln(r/a), (r/a)*vf = (a/r)*vs(r), 20/6371 = (vs/r)
I've created an excel spreadsheet with the given model in addition to calculating radius of the layer by subtracting depth from 6371. I've calculated Zf.
I've also found what I think is vs by doing alpha * (radius column/6371), but that could be wrong. I know I need to find where 20/6371 = Vs/r, but I think I made a mistake along the way because my solution doesn't include any answers that work.
