18. The magnitude M of an earthquake in the Richter scale is defined by M = log E−2.9 ,
3
where E units is the energy released from the earthquake.

(a) Scientists forecast that an earthquake will occur in the following week in a city. They
estimate that the magnitude of the coming earthquake is 1.2 lower in the Richer
scale than that of the last earthquake. If E 1 units and E 2 units are the energy
released from the last earthquake and the coming earthquake respectively,
E1
find . (3 marks)
E2

(b) A new scale has been designed to replaced the Richter scale. The new scale is
E
defined by N =4 log +log E , where N is the magnitude of an earthquake and
3
E units is the energy released from the earthquake. James claims that when the
magnitude of an earthquake in the new scale is 58 , it is about a magnitude of 5 in
the Richer scale (correct to the nearest integer). Does he correct? Explain your
answer. (4 marks)
