AbstractIt has been shown that uncoupled surface waves of SH type can be propagated without any dispersion in an electrically conducting semi-infinite elastic medium provided a uniform magnetic field acts non-aligned to the direction of wave propagation. In general, the velocity of propagation will be slightly greater than that of plane shear waves in the medium.

The reciprocity relationship describing the relations among the fields resulting from the interchange of point sources and receivers may be extended to the seismic case. Seismic reciprocity can be described either in terms of the scalar product of the vectors representing the excitation of the source and the field at the receiver, or in terms of a Green’s tensor describing these two quantities. Theoretical reciprocity relations give no information concerning reciprocity in the cases for which the scalar product vanishes. A simple experiment in the vector case demonstrates that reciprocity is not obtained when the scalar product of the two vectors vanishes.
