Lab4 / Exercises Series L3 Geophysics undergraduate level 23-24 year

Exercise 1
Models of tabular models of geological layers, characterized by different thicknesses and
velocities, are presented in (Fig 1).
1- Identify among these models the one favorable to the creation phenomena of refraction.
2- Draw the refracted seismic waves path rays of each model
3- Establish formulas giving the travel time of all refracted waves as time offset and model
parameters functions.

Fig 1
Exercise 2
We consider the two models (A and B) presented in (Figure 2). 1) Demonstrate that both of
them give the same time recieval function (the time as a function of the offset). 2) What will
be the apparent depth of the second interface if we consider that its velocity V3=1050 ft/s, is
close to its V1 veloclty. What would your conclusion be?
