A seismogram is sampled at 100 samples per second. The time interval between samples is

  • A.1 s
  • B.100 s
  • C.0.01 s
  • D.0.1 s

Answer: C

Correct answer: 0.01 s

The sampling interval is the reciprocal of the sampling rate:

\[ \Delta t = \frac{1}{100} = 0.01 \text{ s} \]

By the Nyquist criterion this record can faithfully represent frequencies up to 50 Hz, half the sampling rate, and anything above that must be removed by an anti-alias filter before digitising or it will be folded back into the band and corrupt it.
