What else can I help you with?
Does a seismic wave require a medium?
Yes, earth is the medium
Waves in which matter in the medium moves the same direction of the wave?
Longitudinal waves have particles in the medium that move in the same direction as the wave propagates. This type of wave is characterized by compressions and rarefactions of the medium. Examples include sound waves and seismic waves.
A longitudinal wave causes its medium in what direction?
A longitudinal wave causes its medium to oscillate in the same direction as the wave travels. This means that the particles of the medium move back and forth parallel to the direction of wave propagation. Examples of longitudinal waves include sound waves and seismic waves.
What type of wave occurs when the motion of the medium is parallel to the direction of the wave?
A longitudinal wave occurs when the motion of the medium is parallel to the direction of the wave. In this type of wave, the particles of the medium move back and forth in the same direction as the wave. Examples of longitudinal waves include sound waves and seismic waves.
How do particles move when a mechanical wave passes through them?
A P wave is a type of seismic wave that is caused by an earthquake. P waves are the first seismic waves felt during an earthquake. When the P wave moves, rock particles move back and forth along the direction of the P wave.
How do you stop a seismic wave?
You need a shotgun and shoot the wave and that's how you stop a seismic wave
When the particles of the medium move back and forth along the direction of the wave motion the wave is a?
longitudinal wave
What are some mechanical wave?
Mechanical wave needs a medium to travel. Examples :- Sound Wave, Seismic Wave etc.
Which causes the medium to vibrate in a direction parallel to the wave motion?
Longitudinal waves cause the medium to vibrate in a direction parallel to the wave motion. This means that the particles of the medium move back and forth in the same direction that the wave is traveling. Examples of longitudinal waves include sound waves and seismic waves.
Does a transverse wave move a medium?
Yes, a transverse wave does move the medium. In a transverse wave, the oscillations of the particles in the medium are perpendicular to the direction in which the wave is moving. This motion of the particles transmits the energy of the wave through the medium.
What does a wave need to move?
A wave, by definition, is an oscillation propagating through a medium. So in order for a wave to move it needs a medium (ie. air, water, earth, etc.) and energy. In the case of light (ie. photons), which is a form of wave that can travel through a vacuum, the medium is the electromagnetic field.
What is a wave moving at a parallel angle?
A wave moving at a parallel angle is called a transverse wave. In transverse waves, the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave. Examples include light waves, water waves, and seismic S-waves.
