Shock Waves

Shock waves are common in continuum mechanics, and their dominance is attributable to the fact that they are stronger (or even less) compressible. Substantial perturbations propagated as sudden dynamic changes of a compressible medium supersonically. Shock waves are all around us in our daily lives. Lightning, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and meteorite impact all produce them in nature. Even the earth, which is protected by its magnetic field, generates a shock wave as in solar wind that travels around 20 Earth radiuses. These shock waves might be either constant, linked to the body, or unsteady, i.e., moving around with time. All of the shocks mentioned above can be damaging, so precautions must be taken to reduce their impact.

(a) Seismographs measure the arrival times of earthquakes with a precision of 0.100 s. To get the distance to the epicenter of the quake, they compare the arrival times of S and Pwaves, which travel at different speeds. Figure 16.48) If S and Pwaves travel at 4.00 and 7.20km/s, respectively, in the region considered, how precisely can the distance to the source of the earthquake be determined? (b) Seismic waves from underground detonations of nuclear bombs can be used to locate the test site and detect violations of test bans. Discuss whether your answer to (a) implies a serious limit to such detection. (Note also that the uncertainty is greater if there is an uncertainty in the propagation speeds of the S and P—waves.)

8. A sonar device (which is 10 feet below the water surface) emits waves of frequency 50 kHz. The wavelength of the wave in water happened to be 0.052 m. Suppose that the device is fixed to the bottom of the ship. It emits a signal and the echo from the ocean bed returns 0.85 second later. What is the depth of the ocean at that point? This is assuming that the velocity of the sound in salt water is 1531 m/s. Reminder: Velocity is equal to the product of wavelength and frequency.

The ocean floor in underlain by a layer of basalt that constitutes the crust, or uppermost layer, of the Earth in that region. Below this crust is found denser periodotite rock that forms the Earths mantle. The boundary between these two layers is called the Mohorovicic discontinuity (Moho for short). If an explosive charge is set off at the surface of the basalt, it generates a seismic wave that is reflected back out at the Moho. If the speed of this wave in basalt is 6.50 km/s and the two-way travel time is 1.85 s, what is the thickness of this oceanic crust?
