If a wave comes in with a c ο’ ο‘ 1/c that is larger than local 1/α and 1/β, the above will occur. This will also happen if the source emits a horizontal energy (rare). π: ∅ = π΄ππ₯π −πππΌ π§ ππ₯π ππ(ππ₯ − π‘ ), ππΌ = π 1 2 π − 1 2 πΌ 1 πΌ2 1 − π2 = π π2 − πΌ 2 = πππΌ = 1 πΌ π> 1 ; where π = ππ = π (ππ : phase velocity for Rayleigh waves) π: π = π½ππ₯π −πππ½ π§ ππ₯π ππ(ππ₯ − π‘ ), ππ½ = 1 1 − π2 = π π2 − 2 = πππ½ 2 π½ π½ 1 π> π½ =π 1 π 2 1 − π½ 2 3 (4) (5) 12.510 April, 8, 2008 We follow the same “Recipe” we used before: 1.
