The P-wave which is a form of body wave known as a compression or longitudinal wave.
flying cows that eat people.
P waves.
L waves
Mechanical waves travel fastest in mechanically-most-dense media. Electromagnetic waves travel fastest in optically-least-dense media.
p waves aka primary waves
Yes. Sound waves travel fastest through solids.
Electromagnetic waves travel the fastest, at the speed of light in a vacuum, 3.0 x 108 m/s.
Light waves
Siesmic waves are the propogation through the ground of any energy, such as sound waves or impact forces.
Siesmic
a siesmic wave is a wave that travels through the earth. there are two MAIN types, P and S waves. a siesmograph shows the type of wave and how far away it is from that point.
siesmic waves are sent and an earthquake happens.
They are measured on the Richter scale.
Primary Wave (P wave)
Transverse, longitudinal, love, and Rayleigh - just to name a few (there's more than three...)
Viberations caused by the Siesmic waves,
A Seismograph
Geologists have used two main types of evidence to learn about Earth's interior: direct evidence from rock samples and indirect evidence from siesmic waves.
Primary (P) waves are the fastest. Followed by secondary (S) waves, then surface waves. P waves
No, they are in fact the slowest! The fastest seismic waves are P-waves.
