Richter Scale is the scale on which the destructive energy of an earthquake is measured.
Earthquakes of all magnitudes are measured by seismograph and therefore an earthquake of ,magnitude 3 will also be recorded by it.
However, such an earthquake will not be consequential as there won't be any damage to life or property.
As a matter of fact, this type of earthquake may not even be noticed easily.

Answer:
Richter scale is used to measure the destructive energy of an earthquake. The scale has a reading from 1 to 10.
An earthquake measuring 3 would be recorded by a seismograph.
The magnitude of scale 3 would not cause much damage. An Earthquake of magnitude 5 is considered destructive in nature.
