Longitudinal seismic wave are known as?
The Answer is primary waves.
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.
Are primary waves transverse or longitudinal?
Primary waves, also known as P-waves, are longitudinal seismic waves that travel through the interior of the Earth. They are the fastest seismic waves and are capable of traveling through both solids and liquids.
Are S waves are longitudinal seismic waves?
True
Is a P-wave a seismic wave?
Yes. P-waves are known as primary waves and are a compressional or longitudinal wave.
Longitudinal seismic waves are know as?
Primary or P waves
What are examples of longitudinal waves?
Examples of longitudinal waves include sound waves, seismic waves, and sound waves in solids (such as ultrasound waves). These waves propagate by compressing and rarefying the medium in the direction of wave motion.
What statement best describes longitudinal waves?
Longitudinal waves are mechanical waves in which the particles of the medium vibrate in the same direction as the wave's energy propagation. Examples of longitudinal waves include sound waves and seismic waves.
What are energy waves that are vibrations traveling through earth?
Seismic waves: longitudinal compression waves.
What are energy waves that are vibration traveling through earth?
Seismic waves: longitudinal compression waves.
Is a volcanic wave longitudinal?
There are no waves that are specifically called "volcanic waves"; however, a volcanic eruption can of course cause seismic waves. These can be longitudinal or transverse.
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.
