What else can I help you with?
Do secondary waves travel through solids but not through liquids?
Secondary waves are transverse or shear waves which are able to pass through solids, but are not able to pass through liquids.
When waves are not absorbed by an object or do not pass through it?
When waves are not absorbed by an object or are unable to pass through it, they can be reflected, transmitted, or refracted. Reflection occurs when the waves bounce off the surface of the object. Transmission happens when the waves pass through the object without being absorbed. Refraction occurs when the waves change direction as they pass through the object.
What is s waves and p waves?
P-waves are faster than s-waves. Both can pass through solid rock, but only p-waves can pass through gases and liquids === ===
Can radio waves pass through a vacuum?
Yes, radio waves can pass through a vacuum because they are a form of electromagnetic waves. Unlike sound waves, which require a medium to travel through, electromagnetic waves do not need a medium and can propagate through empty space.
How are seismic waves changes they pass through soft soils?
When the waves pass through soft soils (sediments) they slow down and amplify.
Which light waves will be able to pass through?
horizontal waves only
What is the difference Between S waves P waves?
P-waves are faster than s-waves. Both can pass through solid rock, but only p-waves can pass through gases and liquids === ===
Can transverse mechanical waves pass through gases?
Yes, transverse mechanical waves can pass through gases. Examples include seismic S-waves, which are transverse waves that can travel through the Earth's crust and mantle, and sound waves, which are also transverse waves that can travel through air and other gases.
Can more than two waves pass through one medium?
Yes, they can pass through the same medium, but they will interfere with each other. It's like a bunch of people talking at once. The waves, in this case vibrations that we hear as sound, pass through the same medium, air. You will hear all the different people talking, but it will come across as random noise.
What types of materials do s waves pass through?
S waves, also known as secondary waves, can only pass through solid materials such as rocks and metals. They cannot travel through liquids or gases.
When part of earth's crust breaks what waves pass through the earth?
When part of the Earth's crust breaks, seismic waves pass through the Earth. These waves include primary (P) waves, secondary (S) waves, and surface waves. P waves are the fastest and can travel through both solids and liquids, while S waves are slower and can only travel through solids. Surface waves cause the most damage during an earthquake.
What waves can pass through a vacuum?
Electromagnetic waves, such as visible light, radio waves, and X-rays, can pass through a vacuum because they do not require a medium for propagation. However, mechanical waves, like sound waves, cannot propagate in a vacuum because they need a medium (such as air, water, or solids) to travel through.
