p wave in air velocity

0.3km/s

p wave in water velocity

1.5km/s

relationship between wavelength and time

wavelength=distance

period=time

wave dispersion

variation of velocity with frequency

high frequency content vs. low frequency content

high frequency=high relolution

and vice versa

Fermat's principal

basically ray takes fastest path

Huygens princple

every point on a wavefront can be considered a source for more circular waves.

Attenuation

the gradual loss in intensity of any kind of flux through a medium

Acoustic Wave

wave in a fluid

3 types of boundary (surface) waves

love

rayleigh

tube

pure wave?

one that is just longitudinal or transverse

polarization of waves

term reserved for waves with particle mothion confined in one direction

two elastic parameters

bulk modulus

shear modulus

bulk modulus means what in laymans

incompressibility

shear modulus means what in laymans

rigidity

speed of sound in air/water

0.33km/s (air)

~1.5km/s (water)

wavespeed controls

lithology

porosity

fluids

cementation

Sv and Sh waves?

shear vertical and horizontal

zero crossing?

where the graph crosses the axis

difference between wavelength and period

whether the subject is distance or time

f and T relationship?

f=1/t

f and λ relationship?

V=fλ

group velocity?

the velocity of energy propagation

minimum phase wavelet

short time duration and a concentration of energy at the start of the wavelet

maximum phase wavelet

 the time reverse of the minimum phase and at every point the phase is greater for the maximum than the minimum 

zero phase wavelet

shorter duration than the minimum phase equivalent. The wavelet is symmetrical with a maximum at time zero (non-causal). The fact that energy arrives before time zero is not physically realisable but 1=0 can be a physical boundary

mixed phase wavelet

mix of other wavelets

ray

perpendicular to wavefront

Huygen's principle

that every point on a wavefront may be considered the centre of a secondary disturbance which gives rise to spherical waves and the wavefront at any later instant may be regarded as the envolope of those wavelets

snells law

sin(θ1)/V1=sin(θ2)/V2

what is critical angle (snells law)

wave goes along boundary; headwave

?

A=Direct P

B=reflected P

C=airwave

at zero offset from seismic source means what for depth/velocity calculations of reflected signal?

v=distance/time

theretical implaction of velocity increasing with depth?

seismic energy will eventually propergate back out of the earth

fermats principle?

the actual path between two points taken by a beam of light is the one which is traversed in the least time

reflection and transmission coefficients add up to
