Extracted text: E 0/1 pt 53 C The Richter Scale reading of an earthquake is based on a logarithmic equation. Suppose: A R = log Ao where A - the measure of the amplitude of the earthquake wave Ao the amplitude of the smallest detectable wave (or standard wave). An earthquake is measured with a wave amplitude A = 0.032 while the smallest detectable wave Ao is measured at 0.0001 cm. What is the magnitude of this earthquake using the Richter scale, to the nearest tenth? on the Richter scale. The earthquake registered
