Drop a stone in a water bath and the ripples on the surface are the waves. Also use a flipper on the surface of the water which is attached to a signal generator and set the frequency of the wave you want and observe.

∙ 14y agoyou can get 360 waves by brushin. i thought 360 waves were nothin at first but then i saw all this people that had it so i said why not. my waves is comin out a little but its not 360

Which are faster s waves and p waves or surface waves?
The fast is primary wave which travels through liguid, solid and gas. This how Geologist know the outer core is liquid. Secondary waves travel through only solid. The primary wave are the first to reach the seismograph.
Which wave does most damage p wave or s wave?
A p wave because it can move so fast with more force. P waves cause little damage, they are compressional waves. They are at a higher frequency and a lower amplitude than surface waves which are shear waves. S-waves cause the most damage because they are slow moving and have an amplitude much greater than P-waves.
What damage do p waves cause?
P waves typically cause little to no damage when it comes to buildings, because buildings are usually built to withhold a back-and-forth motion (being the most common motion). I hope this helps. :)
Do p waves cause the most destruction to buildings?
P waves (primary waves) are longitudinal or compressional waves, which means that the ground is alternately compressed and dilated in the direction of propagation. In solids, these waves generally travel almost twice as fast as S waves and can travel through any type of material. In air, these pressure waves take the form of sound waves, hence they travel at the speed of sound. Typical speeds are 330 m/s in air, 1450 m/s in water and about 5000 m/s in granite. When generated by an earthquake they are less destructive than the S waves and surface waves that follow them, due to their bigger amplitudes.
What is the difference between P-waves and S-waves?
Their velocity (P-waves travel more quickly than S-waves) and their mode of propagation (the way they move through the earth). S-waves are transverse waves which move material from side to side (particle motion is normal to direction of travel) whereas P-waves are compression or longitudinal waves where particle motion is parallel to the direction of travel. This means that P-waves can travel through solids, liquids and gasses whereas S-waves can only travel through solids.
How do sound waves travel compared to light waves?
light waves fast
How fast do these waves travel?
really fast man. like super fast.
Are s-waves slow or fast?
s-waves are slower they always occur after p-waves
How fast were the waves going in japan's tsunami?
Very very fast
What is the speed of primary waves?
really fast
Why is diffraction of sound waves more easily observed than diffraction of light waves?
sound waves travel fast than light waves
What causes abnormal slow or fast brain waves?
What does abnormally slow brain waves indicate
How fast are light waves compared to sound waves?
Light is almost a million times faster.
How fast are the p waves compared to s waves?
P waves arrive a couple seconds to a few minutes before s waves.
What are two facts about waves?
that they are fast and they rise from the ocean
How fast do Transverse waves travel?
3x10^8
What is the reason for P waves traveling so fast and L waves traveling so slow?
