yes
That will be wavelength you can figure out the distance by doing this wavelength (m) ---------------------- Wave period (s)=wave speed (m/s)
There is no seismic wave that can only pass through the Earth's mantle. However S-waves can not travel through earth's outer core because it is a liquid.
No, wavelength is the distance between two consecutive points of a wave that are in phase, either trough to trough or crest to crest. S waves are a type of seismic wave that moves through the interior of Earth.
The S-wave.
The type of earthquake wave that moves only through the crust and mantle is called the S-wave (secondary wave). S-waves are slower than P-waves, cannot propagate through liquids like the outer core, and cause side-to-side shaking motion.
S waves move perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. This means that S waves move in a side-to-side or horizontal motion as they travel through the Earth's crust and mantle.
These are known as the seismic waves or the s waves. They will reach the earthquake location second after the first shock.
S waves cannot pass through the outer core. P waves can pass through both outer and inner core.
S-waves can ONLY move through solid rock.
An S wave is a type of seismic wave that moves in a shearing, or side-to-side, motion. It typically travels slower than a P wave and is unable to pass through liquids. On a seismograph, an S wave appears as a series of sharp zigzag lines.
The Secondary or S-wave is a transverse wave associated with earthquakes that can not pass through liquids.
