Oil explorers set off explosives to make loud sounds, then listen for the echoes from underground oil
Question:
Oil explorers set off explosives to make loud sounds, then listen for the echoes from underground oil deposits. Geologists suspect that there is oil under 500-m-deep Lake Physics. It’s known that Lake Physics is carved out of a granite basin. Explorers detect a weak echo 0.94 s after exploding dynamite at the lake surface. If it’s really oil, how deep will they have to drill into the granite to reach it?
