GEOLOGY FOR CIVIL ENGINEERS
A P-wave strikes an interface between two rock types at an angle of incidence of 63.0°. The speed of the incident wave is 4.73 km/s. The P-wave speed in the rocks beyond the interface is 2.91 km/s. Find the angle of refraction.
The planet Venus is different from the earth in several respects. First, it is only 70% as far from the sun. Second, its thick clouds reflect 77% of all incident sunlight. Finally, its atmosphere is much more opaque to infrared light.
Estimate the surface temperature again, taking the reflectivity of the clouds into account.

- From his measurements, Roemer estimated that it took 22 mm for light to travel a distance equal to the diameter of Earth’s orbit around the Sun. (a) Use this estimate along with the known diameter of Earth’s orbit to obtain a rough value of the speed of light. (b) Light actually takes 16.5 mm to travel this distance. Use this time to calculate the speed of light.arrow_forwardWhat are the differences between light waves and sound waves?arrow_forwardThe Tunguska event. On June 30, 1908, a meteor burned up and exploded in the atmosphere above the Tunguska River valley in Siberia. It knocked down trees over thousands of square kilometers and started a forest fire, but produced no crater and apparently caused no human casualties. A witness sitting on his doorstep outside the zone of falling trees recalled events in the following sequence. He saw a moving light in the sky, brighter than the Sun and descending at a low angle to the horizon. He felt his face become warm. He felt the ground shake. An invisible agent picked him up and immediately dropped him about a meter from where he had been seated. He heard a very loud protracted rumbling. Suggest an explanation for these observations and for the order in which they happened.arrow_forward
