Dear Members, I am trying to getting a feeling for the S- waves that our Lehman seismometer will detect. If the period of the boom must be adjusted to around 20 seconds or greater, what is the wavelength of these waves. My back-of-an-envelope estimate (v=fl) is in the order of 100 km. Is that reasonable? What is a typical amplitude for such a wave? Paul Jebb Newcomb Central School Dear Members,
