no p waves travel faster than s waves
No, S-waves (shear waves) are not faster than surface waves. In general, S-waves travel at speeds slower than P-waves (primary waves) but faster than surface waves, which include Love and Rayleigh waves. Surface waves typically have the slowest velocities among seismic wave types. Thus, while S-waves are faster than surface waves, they are not faster than all wave types.
No, surface waves move slower than P-waves and S-waves. P-waves are the fastest seismic waves, followed by S-waves, and then surface waves. Surface waves travel along the Earth's surface and are responsible for the most damage during an earthquake.
P-waves move around 3 km/s faster than s-waves.
P-waves(primary waves) travel faster than S-waves(secondary waves)
Light waves travel faster than sound waves.
Yes, secondary waves (S-waves) are faster than surface waves. S-waves are seismic waves that travel through the interior of the Earth, while surface waves travel along the Earth's surface. S-waves have higher velocities because they travel through solid material, whereas surface waves experience slower speeds as they propagate through less rigid layers.
It is because the epicenter decreases their strenght as it is closer to it
No. Surface waves are slower than both P and S-waves.
Radio wave travel faster than sound wave. Radio wave is the same as light wave except at different wavelength. It travel at speed of light (3 x 108 m/s). Sound wave travel at only 330 m/s and probably can go up to 3,300 m/s in solid medium which is far slower than the speed of light.
sound waves travel faster slower than light waves In air, sound travels around 300m/s.
Seismic waves are the earths crust vibrating. there are two types of waves P-waves and S-waves (Primary and Secondary) Primary waves travel faster than s waves and can travel through solid and liquid, S-waves can only travel through solids
Yes i guess sound waves travel faster through wood than in water. Because molecules are tightly packed in wood(solid) than in water(liquid).
