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 type of seismic waves can travel through all states of matter?
Primary waves, or P-waves, are the type of seismic waves that can travel through all states of matter, including solids, liquids, and gases. They are compressional waves that move by alternately compressing and expanding the material through which they travel. This ability to move through different states of matter distinguishes P-waves from secondary waves (S-waves), which can only propagate 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.
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 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.
Can travel through any material earthquake?
Yes, seismic waves generated by an earthquake can travel through various materials, including solids, liquids, and gases. There are two main types of seismic waves: P-waves (primary waves), which are compressional and can move through all states of matter, and S-waves (secondary waves), which are shear waves that only travel through solids. The speed and behavior of these waves depend on the material they pass through, with denser materials typically allowing faster propagation.
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.
