During earthquake, both longifudinal and transverse waves are produced having speeds `4.0km//s` and `8.0km//s` respectively. If the first transverse wave reahes the seismograph 8 miniutes after the arrival of first longitudinal wave, then find the distance of the position, where the earthquake occured.

During earthquake at one place transverse wave (S) and longitudinal wave (P) are found to be moving towards seismograph with velocities 4.5 km/s and 8.0 km/s respectively. If first P wave is detected by seismograph earlier than S wave by 4 min then epicenter of earthquake must be located approximately at ...... distance from the seismograph.

A source of transverse wave produces 40 crests and 40 troughs in 0.4s. Find the frequency of this transverse wave.

A transverse wave is produced on a stretched string 0.9 m long and fixed at its ends. Find the speed of the transverse wave, when the string vibrates while emitting second overtone of frequency 324 Hz.

A transverse wave is produced on a stretched string 0.7 m long and fixed at its ends. Find speed of transverse wave , when it vibrates in emitting the second overtone of frequency 300Hz .

The speed of a transverse wave on stretched sting is 500 m/s when the tension is 2 kg wt, then the velocity of transverse waves in the same string when the tension is changed to 8 kg wt is

The velocity of a transverse wave on a string of length 0.5 is 225 m/s . What is the fundamental frequency of a standing wave on this string if both ends are kept fixed ?

An earthquake generates both transverse (S) and longitudinal (P) sound waves in the earth. The speed of S waves is about 4.5 km//s and that of P waves is about 8.0 km/s. A seismograph records P and S waves from an earthquake. The first P wave arrives 4.0 min before the first S wave. The epicenter of the earthquake is located at distance about

Earthquakes generate sound waves inside the earth. In case of the earth, both transverse (S) and longitudinal (P) waves can propagate. Typically, the speed of S waves is about 4.5 km s^-1 and that of P waves is 8.0 km s^(-1) . A seismograph records both P and S waves from an earthquake. this difference helps us to find the distanec of the point of origin of the earthquake. this point is called the epicenter. Q. The reading of the time lag between the arrival of S and P waves gives us the distance of the epicenter from the location of a seismograph. the readings of what minimum number of seismographs would be necessary to pinpoint the location of an epicenter?
