What is the main difference between body wave and surface waves?
Surface waves travel slower than body waves.
Explain the amplitude of a water wave?
The difference between the highest and lowest point of the surface of the water.
What is the difference between swell and whitecap?
A swell is a wave or series of waves that are caused by surface gravity. However a whitecap wave is caused by the wind.
Which of the following is NOT a body wave of an earthquake?
*sigh* Don't just copy and paste the questions....your answer is "Surface Wave"
How does a wave change direcyion when it bounces off a surface?
When a wave hits a surface, it reflects off the surface in a different direction from its original path. The angle of incidence (the angle between the incoming wave and the surface) is equal to the angle of reflection (the angle between the reflected wave and the surface). This phenomenon is known as the law of reflection.
Explain the difference between a wave and a wavelength?
A wave is a normal wave and a wave length is the wave Height or distance
What is the difference of surface wave and body waves?
Surface waves travel along the Earth's surface, causing most of the destruction during an earthquake. Body waves, on the other hand, travel through the Earth's interior. Body waves include primary (P-waves) and secondary (S-waves) waves, which are faster than surface waves.
What is the difference between signal and wave?
wave is a part of a signal . millions of wave construct a signal .
Why is there such a large difference between wave heights of surface and internal waves?
The surface waves have further distances to go. The internal waves just barely leave their starting points so they are smaller.
What do you call it when a waves energy is lost to the surface?
When a wave's energy is lost to the surface, it is called wave damping. This typically occurs due to friction between the wave and the surface it is traveling on, causing a gradual decrease in the wave's energy.
What is the difference between two crests of a wave?
The difference between two crests of a wave is the wavelength, which is the distance between two successive crests. It represents the distance the wave travels during one complete cycle.
What is an example of a body wave?
An example of a body wave is a seismic wave that moves through the Earth's interior, such as a P-wave or S-wave. These waves can travel through solids and liquids and are responsible for the initial shaking felt during an earthquake.
