The formula to calculate P wave travel time (TT) is:
\[ TT = \frac{D}{V} \]
Where:
P wave travel time is the duration it takes for primary waves (P waves), which are the fastest seismic waves generated by an earthquake, to travel from the earthquake’s focus to a specific point, usually a seismic station. P wave travel times are used to locate the epicenter of earthquakes and to understand the Earth’s internal structure.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ TT = \left( \frac{300}{6} \right) = 50 \]
The P Wave Travel Time is 50 seconds.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ TT = \left( \frac{450}{7} \right) = 64.2857 \]
The P Wave Travel Time is 64.2857 seconds.
