The bent wave paths can be explained if the core is composed of material that is different from the overlying mantle. The P waves bend around the core in a similar way to sound waves being bent around the corner of a building. For example, you can hear people talking from around the side of a building even if you cannot see them.In this way, rather than actually stopping the P waves in the shadow zone, the outer core bends them.

What else can I help you with?
Is earths outer core liquid or solid?
So far as science can deduce, it must be a solid.
What is the layer inside the earth that creates the earths magnetosphere?
The Liquid Outer Core.
How do you know the earth has a liquid outer core?
Seismic measurements and rheology. The outer core is so hot the iron and nickel there is liquid. The inner core is also as hot and just as liquid but the pressure in the inner core is so great it is solid. Some believe the inner core is a single iron crystal from earth's initial formation but there is no evidence to support that.

Both! The outer core is in a liquid state and the inner core is a solid. Both the inner and outer core are formed mainly of iron and nickel.
