Explain what determines the vertical resolution of an interface imaged in a seismic reflection profile. What is the vertical resolution of a seismic reflection survey using a source with a frequency of 50 Hz in sandstone with a seismic velocity of 2 km/s? b. In the diagram below, complete the axis labels and identify the types of rays responsible for each curve. (s) 0.3 0.25 0.2 0.15 0.1 0.05 0 -0.5 -0.4 -0.3 -0.2 -0.1 0 (km) 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5 c. Draw a simple sketch showing the source and receiver locations, subsurface structure, and the ray-paths responsible for the arrivals in Figure 3. d. Calculate the complete subsurface structure corresponding to the travel time curves in Figure of question 3-a. e. Briefly explain the normal move-out and how to correct for it
