Abstract

We consider theoretical seismographs of a wave field passing through an elastic layer with high propagation velocity. We note the presence of a low-frequency part of the seismogram for longitudinal waves. It is shown that the propagation time of low-frequency vibrations is equal to that of longitudinal disturbances screened by the layer.
