Richter magnitude scale Richter correlation tables based on Richter standard seismic event (formula_26, formula_27, formula_28). Below, formula_29 is the epicentral distance (in kilometers unless otherwise specified). The Lillie empirical formula: Where formula_31 is the amplitude (maximum ground displacement) of the P-wave, in micrometers, measured at 0.8 Hz. For distances formula_32 less than 200 km, and for distances between 200 km and 600 km, where formula_31 is seismograph signal amplitude in mm and formula_32 is in km. The Bisztricsany (1958) empirical formula for epicentral distances between 4˚ to 160˚: Where formula_38 is the duration of the surface wave in seconds, and formula_39 is in
Orders of magnitude (length) (10 m or 1.1 billion light-years). At this scale, expansion of the universe becomes significant. Distance of these objects are derived from their measured redshifts, which depends on the cosmological models used. To help compare different orders of magnitude, this section lists distances starting at 100 Ym (10 m or 11 billion light years). At this scale, expansion of the universe becomes significant. Distance of these objects are derived from their measured redshifts, which depend on the cosmological models used. Distances longer than 100 Ym Orders of magnitude (length) The following are examples of orders of magnitude for different lengths.
