35. The slope of the wadati plot obtained using P-wave and S-wave arrival times for an earthquake is 0.77. What will be the corresponding $\frac{V_{p}}{V_s}$ ratio?
(Thanks
to Pragnath, AU)
Solution:
$t_{s}-t_{p}=D\left(\frac{V_{p}}{V_s}-1
\right)$
This
wadati equation is similar to straight line equation.
$slope=\left(\frac{V_{p}}{V_s}-1
\right)$
$\left(\frac{V_{p}}{V_s}-1
\right)=0.77$
$\left(\frac{V_{p}}{V_s}
\right)=1+0.77$
$\left(\frac{V_{p}}{V_s}\right)=1.77$
can you give me the straight line equation which you compared for the slope.
ReplyDeleteAs of i know the slope of the straight line equation is m=(y2-y2/x2-x1), is there any other equation related to the wadati equation relates the straight line?
Please refer this below link, for more information.

Compare the above equation with, y=mx+c.
