In the present paper, case wise studies have been made to investigate the existence of Rayleigh surface wave in an earth's crustal layer. In the first case, the layer has been kept sandwiched between a rigid boundary plane and a sandy half space, while in the second case the sandy half space has been replaced by an elastic half space with void pores. The dispersion relation has been deduced in both the cases subjected to certain boundary conditions. The phase velocity has been calculated numerically and the effect of sandy parameter, rigid boundary, wave number, inhomogeneity parameter and void parameter on it has been illustrated and displayed by means of graphs. It has been found that the phase velocity of Rayleigh wave is greater when the half space is porous and elastic instead of dry sandy. GUI (graphical user interface) has been developed using MATLAB and a screenshot has been presented in the paper.
