Which region of the electromagnetic spectrum is characterized by the longest wavelengths and lowest frequencies?
Radio waves.
Which are more destructive body waves or surface waves?
Surface waves.
Is a P-wave a body wave?
Yes. In a seismic context, P and S waves are body waves while Love and Rayleigh waves are surface waves.
The seismic waves that travel through Earths interior are waves.?
body waves
The last seismic waves to arrive are?
The last seismic waves to arrive are surface waves.
How does frequency apply to periodic waves?
Periodic waves are characterized by a frequency, a wavelength, and by their speed.
Is it true that electromagnetic waves are characterized by rarefactions and compressions?
No. Those phenomena are characteristic of longitudinal waves, such as for example sound waves.
What are the two types of seismic surface waves?
body waves and surface waves
What is a seismic wave that travels through the earths interior?
body waves
What is the main difference between body waves and surface waves?
Surface waves travel slower than body waves.
What are the 3 types of waves?
P-waves (Primary Waves) -- Body WaveS-waves (Secondary Waves) -- Body WaveSurface Waves (Rayleigh and Love)The 3 types of seismic waves are P waves, S waves and surface waves.
The 3 types of seismic waves are what?
P-waves (Primary Waves) -- Body WaveS-waves (Secondary Waves) -- Body WaveSurface Waves (Rayleigh and Love)The 3 types of seismic waves are P waves, S waves and surface waves.
Which region of the electromagnetic spectrum is characterized by the longest wavelengths and lowest frequencies?
Radio waves.
What is the term for a water wave that is caused by underwater earthquake?
Body waves Body waves and surface waves are the two types of seismic waves formed during great earthquakes. P waves and S waves are called body waves because they travel through the body of the Earth. Surface waves Love waves and Rayleigh waves travel only on the surface of the Earth and cause the most destruction.
What are fastest body waves?
P-waves.
What is the best description of a wave?
A wave is a disturbance that carries energy through a medium without transferring matter. It can be characterized by its amplitude, wavelength, frequency, and speed. Waves can be categorized as mechanical waves, such as sound waves and water waves, or electromagnetic waves, such as light and radio waves.
What are the main types of seismic waves are?
Body waves and Surface waves
