The difference in the arrival times of P-waves and S-waves for a station which is 5600km away is 448 seconds
The time difference in the arrival of P-wave and S-wave can be calculated using the formula :
Td = (8d ÷ 100)
- Where Td = Time difference in arrival time of P and S waves, measured in seconds
- d = distance of epicenter in km
Plugging the parameters into the formula :
Td = [(8 × 5600) ÷ 100]
Td = (44800 ÷ 100)
Td = 448 seconds
Therefore, the difference in the arrival times of P and S-waves is 448 seconds.
