sound waves can only travel through particles, which is why it is hard to hear through double glazing as there is a vacume between the two panes of glass. There are no particles in a vacume.

What can p waves travel through?
S waves usually travel through most things and are felt as the massive shocks after an earthquake. At times the radiation caused by these s waves may cause green pigmentation in your skin. Therefore, s waves are able to travel through skin. On one occasion, s waves were observed to have travelled through dirt, and the endoplasmic reticulum of the element water. In response to your question, s waves seem to generally be able to travel on earth. But due to the gravitational inertia of the Earth's spin, s-waves can travel in symmetric circular paths meaning that dipoles of the magnetic field on Earth will cancel and results in a non-polar s wave.
S-waves cannot travel through?
hello
What earth layer are s waves not transmitted?
S waves can not travel through liquids, the outer core is a liquid, so the S waves can not travel through the outer core. You can also determine that since the outer core is all around the inner core, that the S waves can no travel through the inner core as well.
The change in velocity of s waves at the top of the asthenosphere suggests that it is?
S waves can only travel though solids. Since they have difficulty traveling through the asthenosphere, we conclude the athenosphere is at least partially fluid.
What are psl waves?
P= PressureS= SurfaceL= Rollingthe 3 main types of earthquakes- they go in order from less to more damaging.The below is from SCI 3 (science text book) and if your talking about earthquake waves:P waves are Primary waves and come firstS waves are secondary waves and come secondP and S waves goes through the earthL waves are Love waves and comes lastR waves are Rayleigh waves and comes thirdL and R waves travel on the surface
Which layers can S-waves travel through?
s-waves travel through solids only
What state of matter do P and S waves travel through?
P waves can travel through all types of matter. S waves can only travel through solids.
Can S-wave travel through liquid?
No. S-waves (also known as secondary waves) can only travel through solids, not liquids or gases unlike the P-waves.
What type of wave travels only through solids?
S-waves travel only through solids.
Can S waves travel through the earths mantle?
s-waves do not travel through Earth's mantle
What can s waves not travel through?
S-waves cannot travel through liquids, but they can travel through solids and gases. P-waves can travel through solids, liquids and gases. Hope this helped! :D
How have scientists determined that the outer layer is liquid?
Seismic waves can be separated into basically two different types; S-waves and P-waves. P-waves are able to travel through liquid and solid, but S-waves can not travel through a liquid, they can only travel through a solid. When scientist "shoot" P and S-waves at the outer core, they detect the P-waves coming out the other side, but not the S-waves.
What travels faster P waves or S waves?
S-waves are stronger, but travel slower and can only travel through solids.
In what direction do seismic waves carry the energy of an earthquake?
Seismic waves are the earths crust vibrating. there are two types of waves P-waves and S-waves (Primary and Secondary) Primary waves travel faster than s waves and can travel through solid and liquid, S-waves can only travel through solids
P waves can travel through solids and liquids but S waves can only travel through solids P waves travel faster through rock than through liquid This fact is used to help determine the composition yo?
...the composition of the Earth.
Seismic waves that cannot travel through liquids?
Shear Waves (S Waves) cannot travel through liquid
What kind of seismic waves do and do not travel through liquid?
S-waves can not travel through liquids. By Hollie
