In physics, a surface wave is a 90 degree wave that propagates along the interface of differing media. These waves can be mechanical or electromagnetic in nature. A common example is gravity waves along the surface of a liquid, such as ocean waves.

What does the s in s-wave mean?
Surface Wave(:
What is a small wave called?
surface wave
What happens to a wave when it hits a surface?
When a wave hits a surface, it can be absorbed, reflected, or transmitted through the surface. The type of interaction depends on the properties of the surface and the wave itself. If the surface is smooth, the wave is more likely to be reflected; if the surface is rough, the wave might be absorbed or scattered in multiple directions.
Which seismic wave causes damage to da surface?
The surface wave.
What kind of wave is a surface wave?
Surface waves are transverse waves.
Which type of a wave is a surface wave?
a seismic wave
When a wave is coming toward a surface it is called a what?
When a wave is coming toward a surface, it is called an incident wave.
What is A type of wave?
Surface Wave
Which type of seismic wave travels on top of Earths surface?
A Surface Wave.
What is it called when a wave's energy is lost to a surface making the wave weaker?
When a wave's energy is lost to a surface, resulting in the wave becoming weaker, it is called wave absorption or wave attenuation. This can occur when the wave interacts with the surface material and causes it to dissipate or absorb the energy of the wave.
What form does a wave front have A sine wave B surface of a sphere?
A wave front has a form that is a surface of a sphere.
Is a surface wave mechanical wave?
no its a totally seperate wave
