Question
Arefraction seismic survey is conducted in a region with a planar, dipping layer, with the dip y= 1° The velocity in layer 1 is 400 m/s, and the
velocity of the second layer is 2000 m/s.
O a. vy = 2000 m/s, va = 1900 m/s
Ob.
Vy = 1900 m/s , Va 2000 m/s
Oc. Vy = 1910 m/s, v = 2105 m/s
O d. vy = 2105 m/s, va = 1910 m/s
