[B] Earthquakes generate two sorts of waves in rock, shear or 5 waves which travel at about 4.5km/s and pressure or P waves traveling at about 8 km/s.(1) After one such quake, a seismograph station picks up the S wave 3.0 minutes after the P wave.How far away was the source, or epicenter, of the earthquake? |(2) When a quake is detected, a steady 250 Hz alarm sounds in the hallway of a facility to alert theperson on watch. The alarm is also sent to the cell phones of the staff on duty which emit the same250 Hz tone. One of the staff responding to the alert runs down the hall, approaching the hallwayspeaker. She notices a 2 Hz variation in the loudness of the 250 Hz tone as she runs with her phone.What frequency is she hearing from the speaker? From your answer, how fast was she running, if thespeed of sound is 344 m/s?A wave traveling through granite comes to a boundary with sandstone. The effective bulkmodulus and density for each of these rocks is given in the table below. If you look uphow to do this, I have already adjusted the bulk modulus using the shear modulus.Bulk modulus:DensityGPakg/m3Granite922660Sandstone1523233) Calculate the wave speed for P waves in granite and in sandstone.4) If the wave in the granite hits the boundary with the sandstone at an angle of 90°(head-on, no angle to worry about), describe the reflected and transmitted waveamplitudes (relative size, flipped or not). (No math here.)5) Derive the transmission and reflection coefficients (the ratios of the reflected andtransmitted amplitudes to the incident amplitude) and calculate their values. Omit anypossible phase shifts here. It is simplest to set the boundary as x = 0 and use cosinefunctions for each of the 3 waves.

Hai, since there are multiple questions posted, we will answer the first question. The equation for…
