Q 1919323210.     Earthquakes generate sound waves inside the
earth. Unlike a gas, the earth can experience
both transverse (S) and longitudinal (P)
sound waves. Typically, the speed of S wave
is about 4 km/s, and that of P wave is 8
km/s. A seismograph records P and S waves
from an earthquake. The first P wave arrives
4 min before the first S wave. Assuming the
waves travel in a straight line, how far away
does the earthquake occur?
