How fast do gamma rays move?
Gamma rays are electromagnetic waves, therefore they move at the speed of light.
How much faster are electromagnetic wave than sound waves?
Electromagnetic waves in vacuum move about 881 thousand timesas fast as sound in sea-level air.
What are waves that move from side to side?
S waves are waves that move from side to side.
How do sound waves travel compared to light waves?
light waves fast
What type of waves have nodes that do not move?
standing waves
Why does compression happen?
Sound waves move very fast
How fast do gamma rays move?

How much faster are electromagnetic wave than sound waves?
Electromagnetic waves in vacuum move about 881 thousand timesas fast as sound in sea-level air.
Do sound waves particles move fast though a solid?
Yes, they do. Sound waves move fastest through solids, less fast through liquids, and slowest through gasses. This is because the molecules of solids are closer together, while those of gasses are further apart, creating more space that the waves must jump to move.
How fast are the p waves compared to s waves?
P waves arrive a couple seconds to a few minutes before s waves.
How fast must a boat move to produce a bow wave?
The boat must be going faster then the waves it is creating
How a primary wave moves?
P Waves, or primary waves, move through both solids and liquids. When traveling through solids, P-Waves move fast through dense solids and slower through less dense solids. They move in a compression motion, much like a slinky would. P-Waves are noticed first because they travel faster than S Waves.
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.
How fast do electromagentic waves move?
At the speed of light - about 300,000 km/sec (3 x 108 m/sec)
How much time to people have to get away from a tsunami?
It depend how fast and how strong the waves are but people only have a few seconds to move away.
What directions do waves move in?
Towards the shore.
