What is it when two waves that meet and make bigger or smaller waves?
This is called interference. Positive interference makes bigger waves, Negative interference makes smaller waves.
What is it called when waves travel through each other and the crests overlap with crests and troughs over lap with troughs?
Standing Waves.
Waves that are passed through a material are called what?
sound waves
What is a interference wave?
Interference means two waves meet each other. If the waves are in same phase, they'll enhance each other, creating a bigger wave or a bigger maximum at that point. If they are in opposit phase, they'll undo each other either fully or partially. This is called an destructive interference wave.
Do waves bounce off each other or go through each other?
Waves travel through each other.
What types of waves carry sound?
sound sent through liquids or gases is called compression waves sound sent through solids is called longitudinal and transverse waves
What is a desrtuctive interference wave?
Interference means two waves meet each other. If the waves are in same phase, they'll enhance each other, creating a bigger wave or a bigger maximum at that point. If they are in opposit phase, they'll undo each other either fully or partially. This is called an destructive interference wave.
What are the waves that move through the Earth's crust called?
Seismic waves.
What are earthquake generated waves called?
Earthquake generated waves are called seismic waves. These are waves of energy that travel through the Earth's layers. Their velocity depends on the elasticity and density of the medium that they travel through.
Waves that carry energy through earth rocks are called?
Seismic waves.
What are waves that travel through matter called?
The type of waves that travel through matter are Electromagnetic waves.
How is a focus of an earthquake related to seismic waves?
the bigger the waves the bigger the earthquake
