Can ocean waves move faster than wind?
no
In sound waves do compression waves move faster than rarefaction waves?
sorta, compressions move at a slightly higher frequency, which is indirectly related to speed.
How do glaciers flow?
glaciers move slowly but when theres alot of rain the water and the glaciers move faster
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 is the difference between a compressional wave and a shear wave?
shear waves: move side to side, only move through solids, are also called secondary waves, are slower than compressional waves, travel perpendicular to the medium compressional waves: move straight in one direction, can move through solid, liquid and gas, are also called primary waves, are faster, travel parallel to the medium
Do light and sound both move in waves?
Light and sound both move in waves. Light is much faster than sound. Light waves are smaller than sound waves.
Can ocean waves move faster than wind?
no
Do micro waves move faster than the radio waves?
Microwaves ARE radio waves, and they move with the same speed as all other electromagnetic waves.
How much faster are light waves than sound waves?
About a million times faster
What type of waves move faster than speed of light?
So far nothing is found to move at a faster speed than that of light.
Do p waves or surface waves move faster?
No. Surface waves are slower than both P and S-waves.
Why sound waves faster than light waves?
they aren't, they are much much slower.
In sound waves do compression waves move faster than rarefaction waves?
sorta, compressions move at a slightly higher frequency, which is indirectly related to speed.
Do waves move faster in air or in water?
When the same amount of force is applied to a certain volume of air or the same volume of water, the air will travel faster because it is less dense.
How do glaciers flow?
glaciers move slowly but when theres alot of rain the water and the glaciers move faster
Do waves travel faster than S waves?
no p waves travel faster than s waves
What is different about the seismic waves?
The way seismic waves are different are that they're slower than the p waves who move a lot faster to reach the earthquake.
