6- Generation <strong>of</strong> <strong>wave</strong> phase:<br />

When P-<strong>wave</strong> hits an interface generate four types <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>seismic</strong> <strong>wave</strong>s:<br />

Seismic Wave<br />

Reflected S-Wave<br />

Reflected P-Wave<br />

Refracted P-Wave<br />

Refracted S-Wave<br />

Notes:<br />

1- When <strong>the</strong> <strong>wave</strong> hits an interface vertically , does not generate o<strong>the</strong>r type <strong>of</strong> <strong>wave</strong>s.<br />

2- When <strong>the</strong> first medium is liquid, only three types will generate because S-<strong>wave</strong> does<br />

not propagates through <strong>the</strong> liquid.
