17. Which of the following statements about Snell's law in the context of a seismic survey is incorrect? Snells law: sin 0,- V1 %D sin 02 V2 Here, 0, is the incidence angle and 02 is the transmission angle. a. Snell’s law shows the angular relationship between the incident and transmitted waves at the interface in terms of velocities b. The angle of reflection can be different from the angle of incidence c. When a seismic wave travels from a region of low velocity to high velocity, the wave is refracted away from the normal vector of the interface d. When 02-90 degree, a head wave develops due to critical refraction

1. The gas cloud known as the Crab Nebula can be seen with even a small telescope. It is the remnant of a supernova, a cataclysmic explosion of a star. The explosion was seen on earth on July 4, 1054 AD. The streamers glow with the characteristic red color of heated hydrogen gas. In a laboratory on the earth, heated hydrogen produces red light with a frequency 4.568 × 10¹4 Hz; the red light received from the streamers in the Crab Nebula pointed toward the earth has frequency 4.586 × 10¹4 Hz. (a) Estimate the speed with which the outer edges of the Crab Nebula are expanding. Assume that the speed of the center of the nebula relative to the earth is negligible. (b) Assuming that the expansion speed has been constant since the supernova explosion, estimate the diameter of the nebula. (c) The angular diameter of the Crab Nebula as seen from earth is about 5 arc minutes (1 arc minute = 1/60 of a degree). Estimate the distance (in light years) to the Crab Nebula and estimate the year in…
