I believ they interfere. Either constructive or destructive.
Light waves ALWAYS travel at the "Speed of Light"....based on the medium that the waves are traveling through. It just so happens that they go the FASTEST in a VACUUM.
Primary waves and secondary waves (body waves). Love waves and rayleigh waves (surface waves) do not travel through the earth's mantle. Though secondary waves do not go through liquids, the asthenosphere is only a semi-liquid, so secondary waves can still go through it.
s-waves travel through solids only
Yes because sound waves go through everything.

Electromagnetic waves are the only form of energy that does not need a medium for propagation.
There are two types of waves, mechanical and electromagnetic. Mechanical waves need to have a medium to go through in order to even exits. these mediums can include water, dirt, air, metal, glass, plastic, wood, etc. electromagnetic waves travel through just about anything and do not have to have a medium to exist. Hope this helps T.M.M :-)
Sound waves have to go through a medium, or matter. Usually the medium is air, but they can go through any matter. Sound waves cannot exist in outer space because there is no matter for the wave to travel through. Sound waves travel at different speeds, depending on the medium. This is similar to light, because light slows down in mediums other than air (eg. water, crystal, ect.)
All forms of waves require a medium to propagate through, the only known wave like motion to not require a medium is light, however a medium call the Aether has been suggested to continue the idea that all forms of waves require a medium (tests to confirm the existence of the Aether all proved its non-existence). Light is special, however, as it seems to have properties of both particles and waves. I could of course be completely wrong however, so check with a physics teacher.
The answer depends on the medium which it then travels through.
Seismic waves consist ofP waves which travel through the Earth fast. They compress the medium they travel through;S waves which also travel through the Earth, shearing the solid Earth as they go. S waves do not travel through liquid;Surface waves which can cause the Earth to undulate like water waves or surface waves that cause the Earth to shear.
"ENERGY" travels through WAVES. *Waves is created through disturbance of Matter (the Medium). *Waves carry energy from Particle to Particle of Matter. <credits> *Journel Cabrillos*
Mechanical waves are waves that need a medium to go through. Some examples are ocean waves, seismic waves, and sound waves. Also when a slinky moves back and forth or at right angles it is like a wave.
Mechanical waves must use matter as a medium, they displace the matter in space. Examples of mechanical waves are sound waves (must go through gas (air) which is matter), ocean waves (must go through liquid (water) which is matter, and earthquakes (must go through solid (earth) which is matter.Electromagnetic waves do not need matter as a medium and are made of electromagnetic radiation, they cause fluctuations in the magnetic and electric fields that permeate space-time. Examples of electromagnetic waves are radio waves, microwaves, x-rays, and gamma rays (all are part of the electromagnetic spectrum or EMS).

Heat in the form of infrared radiation can travel through many mediums, and some better than others. It can also travel through the vacuum of space. The more transparent the medium is to infrared radiation, the better it will travel through it.
