An S-wave travels at 3.5 kilometers per second. If you have an S-wave traveling 6000 kilometers, it would take 1.7seconds.

How long would it take for the first s-wave to arrive at a seismic station 4000 kilometers away from the epicenter of an earthquake?

It would take approximately 22 minutes for the first s-wave to arrive at a seismic station 4000 kilometers away from the epicenter of an earthquake. S-waves travel at an average speed of about 3.5 kilometers per second through the Earth's crust and mantle.

How long does it take a wave to travel 2000 km?

In a solid such as rock, the primary wave can travel at 5 km/sec; it would take 400 seconds, or about 6.7 minutes to travel 2,000 km. If traveling through water, the wave travels at about 1.45 km/sec and would need 1,379 seconds (23 minutes) to travel 2,000 km.

How long does it take for a sound wave to travel through 3000 m of water?

Sound travels at approximately 1500 m/s in water. So, it would take about 2 seconds for a sound wave to travel through 3000 m of water.


How long does it take for a sound wave to travel through 300 meters of water?

The speed of sound in water is approximately 1500 m/s. Therefore, it would take approximately 0.2 seconds for a sound wave to travel through 300 meters of water.

I believe you should review the speed of the wave the medium through which it is traveling and whether or not you have already been given all the information you need to answer.


How long does an earthquake p-wave take to travel the first 6500 kilometers after the earthquake occurs?

P-waves travel at speeds between 5 to 8 km/s, as such a P-wave may take between 812 and 1300 seconds (13 and 22 minutes respectively) to travel 6500 km. Please see the related question on P-wave velocity.


How long will it take a wave to travel 5000km?

That depends a lot on the speed. Assume any appropriate speed, then divide the distance by the speed.


How long would it take for a primary wave to travel from San Francisco California to Reno Nevada?

A primary wave (P-wave) can travel at an average speed of about 6 km/s through the Earth's crust. The distance between San Francisco, California, and Reno, Nevada, is approximately 350 km. Therefore, it would take around 58 seconds for a primary wave to travel from San Francisco to Reno.
