How does the velocity of a P wave change as it travels from solid to liquid?
Well it depends on how fast and how hard you urinate, and on how cold it is outside.
Which seismic wave travels the slowest?
Surface waves, Secondary waves, Primary waves :) I had this as a science question in school a few weeks ago... hope this helps :) Oh whoops i didnt log in so i did it again.... :) :) :) :) :) :) :)
Is velocity the speed of a wave?
Velocity and speed are not synonyms.
What is the difference between group velocity and phase velocity in a stationary wave on a string?
The velocity of a wave which maintains consatnt phase at all successive positions during propogation is known as wave velocity or phase velocity. The velocity of a group of waves which maintains constant poditions during the propogation is known as group velocity.
Which waves come first P-waves L-waves or S-waves?
P-waves have the highest velocity so arrive first. Please see the related question for further information on the factors affecting seismic wave velocity.
Which wave travels farther p-waves or s-waves?
The velocity of s-wave is 60% of p-wave, for a given homogeneous and isotropic medium and a fixed time p-wave would travel farther.
What can be determine from the frequency and wavelength of a wave?
The velocity of the wave
At what velocity do P-waves travel?
Typical values for P-wave velocities within the Earth are between 5 and 8 km/s.However the velocity is dependent on the elastic properties and density of the material through which the wave is travelling.The P-Wave velocity (VP) can be found using the following:VP = Sqrt((K+ (4/3 x G)) /P)Where:K = Bulk modulusG = Shear modulusP = DensityPlease see the related links for more information.
What is wave velocity and particle velocity?
The speed the wave is traveling through space
What are equations which can be used to determine the speed of a wave?
The velocity of pressure and shear waves through a solid is dependent on the elastic properties and density of the material through which the wave is travelling.The pressure wave velocity (VP) can be found using the following:VP = Sqrt((K+ (4/3 x G)) /P)Where:K = Bulk modulusG = Shear modulusP = DensityThe shear wave velocity is given by the following:VS = Sqrt (G/P)Where:VS = Shear wave velocityG = Shear modulusP = Density
What is phase velocity?
The velocity of a point that moves with a wave at constant phase. Also known as celerity; phase speed; wave celerity; wave speed., wave velocity.

What waves have the highest velocities in earthquakes?
P waves (PRIMARY Waves) have the highest average velocity as they travel through the earth's materials.
What is velocity of a wave?
How quickly the wave travels
Is wave amplitude related to wave velocity?
No.
How do wavelength and periods relate?
Wavelength*Frequency = Velocity of the wave. or Wavelength/Period = Velocity of the wave.
