B	b - second graph
C	c - third graph
D	highlighted regions on all three graphs

Question 21

Frequency is given in Hz, which has units of seconds. (ID-EXP2-15)

A	False
B	True

Question 21 Explanation: 

The units are in inverse seconds. This is because f=1/T

b₂ = {5 , 1 , 2}

A	6 x 6
B	6 x 5
C	4 x 6
D	3 x 3
E	4 x 4

Question 24 Explanation: 

{5 , 1 , 2} ==
5 , 0 , 0 , 0
1 , 5 , 0 , 0
2 , 1 , 5 , 0
0 , 2 , 1 , 5
0 , 0 , 2 , 1
0 , 0 , 0 , 2

Question 25

Given the following information, calculate the acoustic impedance. (ID-EXP2-09)

depth = 93600 m
time = 12 seconds
density = 2500 kg/m³

A	2.21 * 108
B	2.41 * 108
C	1.95 * 107
D	1.26 * 104

Question 25 Explanation: 

Z = v*p
Z = (93600/12 m/s)(2500 kg/m³)
Z = 19500000

Question 26

What is T₁ (first layer) on the following model? (ID-EXP2-11)

Image Credit: Topic samples, Dr. Kristopher Innanen

Layer / Z(m)	Cx (m/s)	Density Ρx (kg/m3)
L0 / Z1=200	2000	2200
L1 / Z2=350	2200	2100
L2 / Z3=500	2100	2200

A	0.2 s
B	400,000 ms
C	0.1 s
D	440,000 ms

Question 26 Explanation: 

T₁ = 2 (200 m/2000 m/s) = 0.2 s

D	anticline.

Question 28

Given; A dipping interface lies below a zero offset seismic survey. Below the midpoint location x_m = 50 m, the interface is at depth z₂=200m. Below the midpoint location x_m=300m, the interface is at depth z₃=250m. The seismic velocity above the interface is c₀. What is the depth at z₁?

A	175 m
B	10.0 m
C	240.0 m
D	25.0 m
