When p wave bend while traveling through earth's core what happen when arrive at the shadow zone?
serveral minutes later than expected
Why no seismic waves detected at the shadow zone?
In shadow zone, seismograph does not record signals. For P-wave it is b/w 104-145 degress.These earthquake waves exhibit same properties as other waves like reflection, refraction etc.As core has denser matter so P-waves will bend inward and hences they will form a shadow zone. S-waves don't pass through liquid phase, core. So, shadow zone is larger here.
Where are there no P waves or S waves?
Shadow zone

An s-wave shadow zone is formed as seismic waves travel through the Earth's body. Which of the following statements does this s-wave shadow zone indicate?

Why is the s-wave shadow zone larger than the p- wave shadow zone?
S waves cannot pass through the outer core. P waves can pass through both outer and inner core.
P wave spend while traveling through Earth's core and then arrive at the shadow zone?
Several minutes later than expected is when it arrives to the shadow zone.
Does a primary seismic wave have a larger shadow zone than a secondary wave?
no, an s-wave shadow zone is way larger
Why is s wave shadow zone larger than the p wave shadow zone?
In simple terms the shadow zone of the S-wave is larger because of the Earth's liquid outer core. The S-wave cannot travel through the liquid outer core but the P-waves get refracted at the boundary between the mantle and the outer core. This is why the S-wave shadow zone is larger than the P wave shadow zone. P waves are refracted at the liquid outer core of the Earth, while S waves are attenuated or stopped entirely. This allows P waves to go "around" the core and reach locations on the far side of the Earth that are within the shadow of the S waves. -- A P-wave is a longitudinal wave with an alternating stretching and compressing motion in the direction of propagation. An S wave is a transverse wave with a vertical motion perpendicular to the direction of propagation. The shadow zone of a P-wave exists from 105 to 143 degrees (epicentral distance). This is caused by P waves meeting the liquid outer core and being refracted. Part of the P wave is also reflected by the outer core and as a result of the two, a shadow zone exists. The shadow zone of an S-wave exists from 105 to 180 degrees (epicentral distance). S-waves cannot travel through liquids at all so rather than being refracted by the liquid outer core and traveling through it, they are totally reflected, resulting in a shadow zone from 105 to 180 degrees.
Which area of earth is unaffected by both p and s waves?
The Crust of the Earth
What is the p-wave shadow zone and what causes it?
It is known as the penumbra and the area in total shadow is the umbra
