*low frequency wave is more sensitive to deep structure. Therefore, low frequency wave should arrive earlier than high frequency wave.
Just looking at the fundamental mode will give us some information about shallow depths. Combing with higher modes will give even more information about what is happening at depth.
In S & W: Read 2.7 and 2. 2.8.2 does not call it the stationary phase, but they look at f(ω,k)=0, which is the stationary phase approach.

Airy Phase – wave that arises if the phase and the change in group velocity are stationary du = 0 Æ gives the highest amplitude in terms of group velocity and are prominent on d ω the seismogram.

Part of the wave that propagates with the group velocity is not same part of the seismogram. The peaks and troughs are related to the phase velocity (e.g. first onset). Group velocity is related to frequency band.
With greater propagation distances the arrivals spread out more and shift to lower frequencies. Looking at fundamental and higher modes becomes easier at higher distances because they are more spread out.

with a 1/c that is larger than local 1/α and 1/β, the above will occur. This will also happen if the source emits a horizontal energy (this is rare).

c (^) R ~ 0.92β which makes it about 10% slower than the shear wave velocity. This explains why the Rayleigh wave is slower than the love wave. The Love wave, at low frequency Æ c 2 and at high frequencies Love wave (at it’s slowest) is c 1 …Rayleigh wave is about 90% of the Love wave at the most.
