What do rayleigh waves travel through?
Rayleigh Waves propagate along boundary between two dissimilar solid media, in a plane perpendicular to the surface and containing the direction of propagation.
What are the properties of electromagnetic waves?
speedwavelengthfrequencypolarization
What are the names of the waves?
Love waves and Rayleigh waves are surface waves
What models explain the behavior of electromagnetic waves?
Many properties of electronmagnetic waves can be explained by a wave model. However, some properties can be explained by a particle model.
What are 4 basic properties of waves?
The fundamental descriptors of waves are, wavelength, frequency, amplitude, and velocity.
What is stronger love waves or Rayleigh waves?
rayleigh -8 letters :-)
What 2 waves are surface waves?
Love waves and Rayleigh waves are surface waves
Which earthquake waves are most destructive to buildings?
technically any seismic wave can destroy a building, but the one most likely to do it are the surface waves
What is rayleigh scattering?
Rayleigh waves are a type of Surface wave. Surface waves occur when Secondary waves and Primary waves reach the Surface of the Earth's crust during an earthquake. Surface waves cause the most damage.
What are three types of earthquake waves?
P-waves, S-waves and surface waves (Love and Rayleigh waves).
How do Rayleigh waves move the ground?
Rayleigh waves cause the ground to move with an elliptical, rolling motion.
What do rayleigh waves travel through?
Rayleigh Waves propagate along boundary between two dissimilar solid media, in a plane perpendicular to the surface and containing the direction of propagation.
What are Love waves?
Love waves are a type of seismic wave known (along with Rayleigh waves) as surface waves. These cause horizontal shearing of the ground. They are named after A.E.H. Love, a British mathematician who created a mathematical model of the waves in 1911. They are slightly slower than Rayleigh waves.

Which seismic waves cause the least damage?
The Love and Rayleigh waves (collectively known as surface waves) are the slowest moving but most damaging of the seismic waves.
What general name is given to waves that travel along the surface of a material such as Rayleigh and Love waves?
Surface waves
Which seismic waves make the ground roll like ocean waves?
Rayleigh waves which are a type of seismic surface wave.
