 97. In a seismic reflection survey, the inferred upper and lower layer velocities are 2 km/s and 6 km/s, respectively. The depth of the refractor is 0.5 km. What will be the crossover distance?

a) 2828m            b) 1414m            c) 707m              d) 353.5m

 (Thanks to Pragnath, AU)

Solution: 


$X_{~crossover}=2Z*\sqrt{~\frac{V_{2}+V_{1}}{V_{2}-V_{1}}}$

 

Given that $Z=0.5km$       $V_{1}=2 Km/s$       $V_{2}=6 Km/s$ 

 

$X_{~crossover}=2(0.5)*\sqrt{~\frac{6+2}{6-2}}$

 

 

$X_{~crossover}=1*\sqrt{~\frac{8}{4}}$

 

$X_{~crossover}=\sqrt{2}$

 

$X_{~crossover}=1.414 km$    or    


$X_{~crossover}=1414 meters$
