Which are more destructive body waves or surface waves?
Surface waves.
What type of seismic waves that arrive at the surface first?
Those are the P-waves, which are the fastest and weakest.
Are surface waves the first to arrive at a seismic facilty?
p waves s waves surface waves so no
Which earthquake waves do the most damage to surface structures and buildings?
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
Waves that travel at the surface such as Raleigh and long waves?
surface waves, raleigh waves, and long waves.
What are the two types of seismic surface waves?
body waves and surface waves
What 2 waves are surface waves?
Love waves and Rayleigh waves are surface waves
Which waves have some electrical properties and some magneric properties?
Electromagnetic Waves.
What waves have some electrical properties and some magnetc properties?
Electromagnetic Waves.
Which are more destructive body waves or surface waves?
Surface waves.
Waves that are used in radar?
Electromagnetic waves with a wavelength from a mm up to a few cm are used in radar. They will be reflected from a discontinuity in the electromagnet properties of space. e.g. a metal surface.
What type of materials will reflect radio waves?
Radio waves will be reflected by any surface where the electromagnetic properties of the space change. e.g. moving from free space into solid material.
When do P waves arrive at the surface in relation to S waves?
when the P waves arrive at the surface in relation to s waves and surface waves is called the promary waves.
When a raindrop hits the surface of a lake circular surface waves form What is true about these surface waves?
The surface waves cannot be classified as transverse or longitudinal waves.
How are light rays reflected?
Light rays may be thought of as ripples or waves. If you have ever seen the waves in a pond bounce off an object in the pond or the shore line, that is a suitable analogy for the reflection of light rays. Some waves are big and some are small, some waves are closer together and some are further apart. When a wave approaches and impinges on a surface, we refer to that as the "incident wave" (or incident radiation). The properties of the wave (how close, how big) and the properties of the reflecting surface, will dictate how efficiently the wave can bounce off the surface.
Where do surface waves occur?
surface waves occur on the surface its visible to people and people can surface
