Shearing seismic waves that move rocks and other matter in a direction perpendicular to the waves are traveling?
Primary waves (p waves)
Why do light waves travel faster in empty air than in matter?
I believe it might be because the light has nothing to reflect off of so it would travel in a straight line
Where do sound waves cannot travel?
it can't travel in a vacuum, it needs medium to travel
Ein which of the follwing can sound waves not travil?
Sound waves can travel through any compressible material (which means any real material), be it solid, liquid, or gas. Sound waves cannot travel through a vacuum.
What are Waves that cause particle to move in the same direction of the wave?
seismic
What matter vibrates in the same direction as these waves travel?
Compressional waves
How sound waves can be modelled with water waves?
Not very well, because they're different types of waves. They have some similar properties, but water waves are transverse waves (the water goes up and down, perpendicular to the direction of travel) and sound waves are longitudinal waves (the air vibrates parallel to the direction of travel).
What are compressional waves that move rocks and other matter in the same direction as the waves travel?
the
What type of waves move across the direction of travel?
Transverse waves will move across the direction of travel.
Compressional seismic waves that moves rocks and other matter in the same direction as the waves travel?
Well, its actually kinda obvious. Its-----TROLOLOLOLO
Do all waves travel through matter?
NO some waves like sound require matter to travel whereas light waves can travel in vacuum.
Waves that compress and expand in the direction that the waves travel?
Longitudinal waves.
What are waves that travel through matter called?
The type of waves that travel through matter are Electromagnetic waves.
What is an example of a longitudinal wave?
Sound waves are an example of Longitudinal waves. They are waves in which the particle is displaced in a parallel direction to the direction of velocity of the wave. They are formed by a compression and expansion of particles.sound is an example for longitudinal wavesound waveLongitudinal waves, also known as "l-waves", are waves in which the displacement of the medium is in the same direction as, or the opposite direction to, the direction of travel of the wave.
What wave causes particles in matter to move back and forth along the same direction in which the waves travel?
A Compressional wave.
What is the difference between longitual waves and transverse waves?
longitudinal waves travel in the direction parallel to the Surface, which are P waves, and transverse waves travel in the direction perpendicular to the surface, which causes destructive earthquakes. Which are S waves.
How does longitudinal wave travel?
Longitudinal waves are waves that have the same direction of vibration along their direction of travel, which means that the vibration of the medium (particle) is in the same direction or opposite direction as the motion of the wave. Mechanical longitudinal waves have been also referred to as compressional waves or compression waves
