NEET MCQ Books for XIth & XIIth Physics, Chemistry & BiologyEarthquakes generate sound waves inside the earth. Unlike a gas, the earth can experience both transverse (S) and longitudinal (P) sound waves. Typically the speed of the S wave is about 4.0 km/s, and that of the P waves is 8.0 km/s. A seismograph records P and S waves from an earthquake. The first P wave arrives 4 min before the first S wave. Assuming the waves travel in a straight line, at what distance does the earthquake occur?
1. 1854 km
2. 2320 km
3. 1920 km
4. 2000 km
