What state of matter do P and S waves travel through?
P waves can travel through all types of matter. S waves can only travel through solids.
What kind of waves originate at the focus and can travel through all types of matter?
p waves
These waves originate at the focus and can travel through all tyes of matter?
Seismic p
What is a wave that can travel through matter and space?
All electromagnetic waves travel through space. All electromagnetic waves travel through certain types of matter. Some electromagnetic waves (neutrinos and others) pass through all known matter) This is really an extremely complex question, which preys on the nature of waves themselves. I would direct the questioner to read one of the following books: A Brief History of Time (Prof. Stephen Hawking) Coming of Age in the Milky Way (Timothy Ferris)
Are all waves mechanical waves?
maybe? ----- No, you are forgetting about electromagnetic radiation such as a light, radio, x-rays, and so on that also have wave properties. Mechanical waves are able to travel through matter but electromagnetic waves can travel in a vacuum.
Do all waves need matter to travel?
Yes.
What is a 'vacuum' in electromagnetic waves terms?
In electromagnetic waves terms, a vacuum refers to a region of space that contains no matter and has no medium for the waves to propagate through. Electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum because they do not require a medium for transmission.
What are three medium waves can travel through?
Not all waves require mediums to propagate.Sound waves can travel through solid, liquid and gaseous mediums, while, electromagnetic waves do not require any medium to travel through.
Is the speed of a physics wave influenced by the type of matter it travels through?
Generally , all waves that are studied in physics are affected by the type of matter they travel thru.
What kind of waves travel through all layers?
Primary waves.
Which matter spreads in all directions?
Sound waves can spread in all directions as they travel through a medium, such as air or water. When an object vibrates it creates sound waves that radiate outward in all directions.
What type of mediums do sound waves travel trough?
Sound waves can travel through mediums such as air, water, and solid materials like metal or wood. The speed and behavior of sound waves can vary depending on the properties of the medium they are traveling through.
