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


Through what are things can sound waves travel?

Sound waves can travel through solids, liquids, and gases.


What waves travel through solids liquids and gases?

Seismic waves, including P-waves and S-waves, can travel through solids, liquids, and gases. They are produced by earthquakes and other sources of vibrations and provide valuable information about the interior of the Earth.


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.


Do p waves travel through gases?

Yes, P-waves (primary waves) can travel through gases, liquids, and solids. They are seismic waves that are the fastest and can propagate through any material, including the Earth's atmosphere.


What are the mediums that waves can travel through?

Waves can travel through many media, depending on their nature. Sound waves can go through solids, liquids and gases. Transverse shock waves can only travel through solids. Electromagnetic waves can go through some solids, liquids or gases, or through a vacuum.


Can gases travel through a vacuum?

No. Only light waves can travel through a vacuum.


A seismogram shows that p waves travel?

The seismogram shows that P waves travel faster than S waves, as they are the first waves to arrive at the seismograph station after an earthquake occurs. P waves are compressional waves that can travel through solids, liquids, and gases, whereas S waves are shear waves that can only travel through solids.


Certain seismic waves travel as?

There are three main types of seismic waves that travel through the Earth: P-waves (primary waves) are the fastest and can travel through solids, liquids, and gases. S-waves (secondary waves) follow P-waves and can only travel through solids, not liquids or gases. Surface waves travel along the Earth's surface and are responsible for most of the damage during an earthquake.


Can a p wave travel through gas?

Yes, a P-wave can travel through gas. P-waves are seismic waves that are the fastest and can travel through solids, liquids, and gases. They compress and expand the material they travel through, which allows them to propagate through gases as well.


What materials will sound travel through?

Sound waves will travel through gases, liquids, and solids. Sound waves cannot pass through a vacuum.


Can sound waves travel through rocks?

Yes it can cause sound waves can travel through solids,liquids,but slowly in gases and air
