How do particles move when a mechanical wave passes through them?
A P wave is a type of seismic wave that is caused by an earthquake. P waves are the first seismic waves felt during an earthquake. When the P wave moves, rock particles move back and forth along the direction of the P wave.
Wave motion in which particles vibrate back and forth in the same direction as the wave is called?
sciene stuff
What is secondary wave?
The S-wave is the secondary seismic wave.
How do rock particles move during the passage of a P wave through rock?
A P wave is a type of seismic wave that is caused by an earthquake. P waves are the first seismic waves felt during an earthquake. When the P wave moves, rock particles move back and forth along the direction of the P wave.
Describe how a primary wave moves?
P waves are primary seismic waves. They are the fastest seismic waves and they are compressional or longitudinal waves, which means the back and forth movement of the particles is in the same direction as the wave is travelling. There is an illustration and explanation in the reference below. P waves can propagate through any medium. (solid. liquid or gas
