Is a P-wave a body wave?
Yes. In a seismic context, P and S waves are body waves while Love and Rayleigh waves are surface waves.
Type of wave generated by an earthquake?
Seismic waves are generated by earthquakes. These can be further divided into surface (Rayleigh and Love) waves and body waves (P and S wave).
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 is stronger love waves or Rayleigh waves?
rayleigh -8 letters :-)
When will it snow in Rayleigh Essex in 2012?
Yes there will be on the 14th November
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
Why they are called rayleigh wave and love wave?
Because those are the last names of the scientists that discovered, documented, and explained them and their effects.
Which amusement park ride would have almost the same motion as a Rayleigh wave?
Roller coaster :)
What has the author Bhupesh Kumar Gangrade written?
Bhupesh Kumar Gangrade has written: 'Rayleigh wave characteristics for the seismic events of Pakistan region' -- subject(s): Geology, Rayleigh waves
Is a P-wave a body wave?
Yes. In a seismic context, P and S waves are body waves while Love and Rayleigh waves are surface waves.
Type of wave generated by an earthquake?
Seismic waves are generated by earthquakes. These can be further divided into surface (Rayleigh and Love) waves and body waves (P and S wave).
How do you calculate the Rayleigh velocity?
If you have an isotropic material, the phase velocity of the surface wave (Rayleigh wave)can be approximately calculated by the following equation: v ~ [(0.72-(v_t/v_l)^2)/(0.75-(v_t/v_l)^2)]) * v_t where v is the Rayleigh velocity v_t is the transverse wave velocity (v_t=sqrt(c_44/density)) v_l is the longitudinal wave velocity(v_l=sqrt(c_11/density) and c_11 and c_44 are the members of the elastic constant tensor. For anisotropic materials, each direction of propagation possesses its own velocity and things get more complicated.
Which seismic waves make the ground roll like ocean waves?
Rayleigh waves which are a type of seismic surface wave.
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 is the difference between love wave and rayleigh wave?
Love waves and Rayleigh waves are both guided waves. Love waves occur in a thin plate, while Rayleigh waves are a combination of transverse and longitudinal waves on the surface of a half-space.
Which seismic wave cause most of the damage during an earthquake?
The L- Wave or the Love and Rayleigh waves (collectively known as surface waves) cause most of the damage during an earthquake.
Which seismic waves travel along earth's surface and produce the most severe ground movement?
Broadly, the surface waves of which there are two main types. The Love and Rayleigh wave. Rayleigh waves have the largest amplitude of the surface waves and so cause the majority of damage.
