What is the bending of waves as they move around a barrier or pass through an opening called?
Diffraction
What are waves that move from side to side?
S waves are waves that move from side to side.
What kind of waves can pass through a vacuum?
Electromagnetic waves
Can mechanical waves pass though a vacuum?
Mechanical waves can't pass through a vacuum. Mechanical waves need something to pass through. Space is generally considered a vacuum, with nothing in it to transmit a mechanical wave.
What type of waves have nodes that do not move?
standing waves
What is the bending of waves as they move around a barrier or pass through an opening called?
Diffraction
Why do waves move?
many different reasons. wind can blow across the surface of the water, energy can pass through causing waves,
Can an S wave pass through liquid?
S-waves can ONLY move through solid rock.
What can the p-wave move through magma rock or both?
P-waves are longitudinal / compressional waves and so can pass through both solids (rock) and liquids (magma).
What do waves move through?
Different types of waves move in different patterns. Ocean waves move in a circular pattern while sound waves move in a sinusoidal pattern.
What are waves that move from side to side?
S waves are waves that move from side to side.
What is s waves and p waves?
P-waves are faster than s-waves. Both can pass through solid rock, but only p-waves can pass through gases and liquids === ===
Shear waves will not pass through the?
Shear waves will not pass through the molten outer core of the Earth.
What directions do waves move in?
Towards the shore.
What is the difference Between S waves P waves?
P-waves are faster than s-waves. Both can pass through solid rock, but only p-waves can pass through gases and liquids === ===
What kind of waves can pass through a vacuum?
Electromagnetic waves
How do vibrations move through earth's crust?
There are three types of vibrations:- Primary waves, Secondary waves and long waves. Primary waves can move through solid and liquid. Secondary waves move through only solids and long waves can only move along the surface of the earth's crust.
