Use Logarithmic Functions A. EARTHQUAKES The Richter scale measures the intensity R of an earthquake. The Richter scale uses the formula R , where a is the amplitude (in microns) of the vertical ground motion, T is the period of the seismic wave in seconds, and B is a factor that accounts for the weakening of seismic waves. Find the intensity of an earthquake with an amplitude of 250 microns, a period of 2.1 seconds, and B = 5.4. Example 7

The intensity of the earthquake is about 7.5. Use Logarithmic Functions R = Original Equation = a = 250, T = 2.1, and B = 5.4 ≈ 7.5 The intensity of the earthquake is about 7.5. Answer: about 7.5 Example 7

Use Logarithmic Functions B. EARTHQUAKES The Richter scale measures the intensity R of an earthquake. The Richter scale uses the formula R , where a is the amplitude (in microns) of the vertical ground motion, T is the period of the seismic wave in seconds, and B is a factor that accounts for the weakening of seismic waves. A city is not concerned about earthquakes with an intensity of less than 3.5. An earthquake occurs with an amplitude of 125 microns, a period of 0.33 seconds, and B = 1.2. What is the intensity of the earthquake? Should this earthquake be a concern for the city? Example 7

Use Logarithmic Functions C. EARTHQUAKES The Richter scale measures the intensity R of an earthquake. The Richter scale uses the formula R , where a is the amplitude (in microns) of the vertical ground motion, T is the period of the seismic wave in seconds, and B is a factor that accounts for the weakening of seismic waves. Earthquakes with an intensity of 6.1 or greater can cause considerable damage to those living within 100 km of the earthquake’s center.
