What else can I help you with?
Is a P-wave a seismic wave?
Yes. P-waves are known as primary waves and are a compressional or longitudinal wave.
What is it called when a transverse wave and a longitudinal wave combine?
it is called a seismic wave
Is a P wave longitudinal or transverse?
A P wave is a type of seismic wave that is classified as a longitudinal wave. Longitudinal waves are characterized by the vibration of particles in the same direction as the wave is moving.
What is a seismic wave that causes particules of rock to vibrate in the same direction which the wave is moving?
That would be a P-wave or Primary wave which is a longitudinal seismic wave.
S waves are longitudinal seismic waves?
This statement is incorrect. S waves are actually transverse seismic waves, meaning they move particles perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. Longitudinal seismic waves are known as P waves.
Is a longitudinal wave parallel?
Yes, a longitudinal wave is parallel to the direction of wave propagation. The oscillations of the particles in a longitudinal wave are parallel to the direction in which the wave moves. Examples of longitudinal waves include sound waves and seismic waves.
A disturbance that travels through a medium as a longitudinal wave is?
A disturbance that travels through a medium as a longitudinal wave is known as a sound wave. In a longitudinal wave, the particles of the medium oscillate parallel to the direction of wave propagation. Sound waves are an example of longitudinal waves as they require a medium, such as air or water, to travel through.
What wave moves the same direction as it travels?
Longitudinal waves move in the same direction as they travel. In a longitudinal wave, the particles of the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of energy transport. Examples of longitudinal waves include sound waves in air and seismic waves in the Earth.
What type of wave vibrates in the same direction that the wave travels?
A longitudinal wave vibrates in the same direction that the wave travels. Examples of longitudinal waves include sound waves and seismic waves.
What is the wave in which moves in the same direction of the wave?
A wave that moves in the same direction as the wave it is interacting with is called a "longitudinal wave." In longitudinal waves, the oscillations of the particles are parallel to the direction of energy transfer. Examples of longitudinal waves include sound waves and seismic waves.
Which body wave is a longitudinal wave?
The primary body wave that is a longitudinal wave is the P-wave (primary wave). It is the fastest seismic wave and travels through the Earth's interior by compressing and expanding the rock in the direction of the wave's propagation.
What type of seismic wave that compresses and expands the ground?
Longitudinal Waves
