2016 LIGO Workshop at Buffalo
22-23 August, 2016 Objectives Participating teachers will be able to use the LIGO e-Lab to: Plot and interpret data recorded by LIGO seismic instruments Explain the importance of LIGO seismic data in gravitational wave search Identify and list classical physics concepts in…
Danielle's LIGO Workspace
Hello World! Questions from the powers that be on seismology: What are the types of seismic waves? How are they different from one another? s-waves or shear waves (transverse!!!) p-waves or pressure waves (longitudinal!!!) How do the various types of seismic waves propagate…
The Gents; Virtual meeting 2016, LIGO questions
Why seismic waves are important to LIGO All kinds of things shake the ground and therefore affect the interferometers. These background vibrations have to be "subracted" just as background radiation is subtracted to determine radiation from a radioactive source. sources of seismic…
Kathy and Debbie
1. Compressional or P (for primary) Transverse or S (for secondary) Love Rayleigh P and S are called body waves because they travel or propagate throught the body of Earth. The latter two are called surface waves they travel along the Earth's surface and amplitude decreases with depth…
