A solution to the problem of the wave motion produced when a pressure of arbitrary form is applied to the interior surface of a spherical cavity in an ideally elastic medium is derived. This solution is shown to be in qualitative agreement with a number of field observations of the effect of shot‐point conditions on the characteristics of reflection seismograph recordings.
