Where do mechanical waves and electromagnetic waves travel fastest?
Mechanical waves travel fastest in mechanically-most-dense media. Electromagnetic waves travel fastest in optically-least-dense media.
What is the fastest of the seismic waves?
p waves aka primary waves
Do sound waves trave their fastest in solids?
Yes. Sound waves travel fastest through solids.
Which type of wave travels the fastest?
Electromagnetic waves travel the fastest, at the speed of light in a vacuum, 3.0 x 108 m/s.
What is the fastest way to send information using sound waves light waves or water waves?
Light waves
What waves move the fastest?
Electromagnetic waves.
What seismic waves move the fastest?
P waves
What are the fastest type of waves and causes rock to move back and forth?
p-waves
Compared to P waves and S waves do surface waves move slower or faster?
Surface waves move slower. P waves are the fastest. Surface waves are the slowest. they are slowest but most destructive.
Is it true that surface waves move more quickly than p waves and s waves?
no, p waves are the fastest followed by s waves and finally surface waves
Is it true that surface waves move more quickly than p and s waves?
no, p waves are the fastest followed by s waves and finally surface waves
Which seismic waves travel the fastest?
Primary (P) waves are the fastest. Followed by secondary (S) waves, then surface waves. P waves
Are surface waves the fastest seismic waves?
No, they are in fact the slowest! The fastest seismic waves are P-waves.
What earthquakes waves are the fastest?
P or Primary waves are the fastest earthquake or seismic waves.
What type of energy wave moves the fastest?
Some kinds of waves move at the speed of light - notably light itself, and other electromagnetic waves.
Which waves are fastest?
Primary waves as they travel like a worm, compressing and then expanding
What are fastest body waves?
P-waves.
