Velocity of P-waves Calculator
Posted by Dinesh onP-waves are a type of elastic wave, and are one of the two main types of elastic body waves, called seismic waves in seismology, that travel through a continuum and are the first waves from an earthquake to arrive at a seismograph.
Formula:
vp = √(λ + 2μ) / ρ
where,μ - is the shear modulus (modulus of rigidity, sometimes denoted as G)
ρ - the density of the material through which the wave propagates
λ - is the first Lame parameter
