In this chapter we shall show how the travel times of seismic signals are calculated in terms of the various basic parameters: distance between source and receiver, velocities of the different layers in the subsurface, depth and inclination of the reflecting surfaces. We shall commence by considering a very simple model of the subsurface and shall then pass to a more complex model, which is a little closer to reality.
