(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, geologists compare the arrival times of S- and P-waves, which travel at different speeds. If S- and P-waves travel at 4.00 and 7.20 km/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.)
In Bosnia, the ultimate test of a young nuns courage used to be to jump off a 400-year-old bridge (destroyed in 1993; rebuilt in 2004) into the River Neretva, 23 m below the bridge.

solving for b. Oil explorers often set off explosives to make loud sounds, then listen for the echoes from underground oil deposits. Geologists suspect that there is oil under 520-m-deep Lake Physics. It's known that Lake Physics rests on top of solid granite. The speed of sound in water is 1480 m/s and the speed of sound in granite is 6000 m/s. a. If an explosion is created at the surface of the lake, what time after the explosion do the explorers expect to hear an echo from the bottom of the lake in seconds? t bottom = 0.703 sec. b. In addition to the expected echo from the bottom of the lake, explorers also detect a faint echo 0.960 s after exploding the dynamite at the lake surface. If it's really oil, how deep will they have to drill through the granite to reach it in meters?
