| '''Slowness (s)''' is a quantity introduced in [[Seismology]] which is the [[Multiplicative inverse|reciprocal]] of [[velocity]].

| Thus,
| |
| | |
| Slowness = 1/Velocity
| |
| | |
| If we divide the path followed by the ray into N segments numbered i = 1, 2 .. N the total travel time of the [[wave]] is
| |
| | |
| <math>\Gamma = \sum_{i = 1}^{N} s_{i} \Delta x_{i}</math> | |
| | |
| Therefore, the residual [[travel]] time is due to departures in slowness experienced by the wave along the raypath.
