Presuming you mean earthquakes, L waves are known as Long waves. P waves are known as primary waves, and S waves are known as secondary waves.
surface waves
P-waves and primary waves are the same thing. They may also be known as pressure waves (or compression waves) due to their mode of propagation, the way they move through the Earth.
l waves are the slowest our waves . They are also called "Long Waves" . They travel along the surface of the Earth . They are the ones that people notice the most .
Compression Waves
P-waves and S-waves. P waves are known as Primary waves as they have a high velocity and so are recorded at seismometer stations before Secondary or S-waves. P waves may also be known as pressure waves as they are in fact compression or longitudinal waves. S-waves may also be known as shear waves as they are transverse waves.
yes, their speed is about 60% of the speed of a p-wave through a given material. s-waves are also known as surface waves or secondary waves. they are known as secondary waves because they occur second because of their slower speed.
Surface waves
L waves
L waves, also known as Love waves, are a type of surface wave that travel through the solid layer of the Earth's crust. These waves move by shaking the ground side-to-side in a horizontal direction. L waves are slower than other seismic waves but can cause significant damage during earthquakes.

P waves may also be known as pressure waves as they are in fact compression or longitudinal waves. S-waves may also be known as shear waves as they are transverse waves.
The L- Wave or the Love and Rayleigh waves (collectively known as surface waves) cause most of the damage during an earthquake.
The P-wave which is a form of body wave known as a compression or longitudinal wave.
P waves... L waves are slowest.
