What type of wave moves the fastest?
Light wave travels fastest in air Sound wave travels fastest in solid or liquid
What type of ocean wave moves the fastest?
Indian Ocean waves.
What is the fastest seismic wave that moves back and forth?
The fastest seismic wave that also moves back and forth is the P-wave.
What type of wave is the fastest?
The fastest wave is the electromagnetic wave. Of the seismic waves, the P-wave is the fastest seismic wave.
What moves forward in waves?
The energy of a wave moves forward with the wave. A wave is moving energy, and the wave carries it in the direction of propagation.
What moves forward in a water wave?
Energy moves forward in a wave.
What moves instead of the water in the wave?
The energy in the wave .
What is the fastest type of siesmic wave?
Primary Wave (P wave)
What are p and s waveswhich one moves faster and ehat types of material can each go through?
The p wave is a pressure wave after a earthquake and it travels the fastest. An s wave is a wave that moves side to side and is second fastest. Bouth types of waves can go though all material but at different speeds. The denser the material the faster is gose generally. The last wave type is a L wave and it is a rolling wave that is also the slowest wave.
The type of energy transferred by a wave in a medium is energy?
kinetic
Is an electromagnetic a compresinal wave?
No, an electromagnetic wave is NOT a compressional wave. An electromagnetic wave is best described as a transverse wave. Remember that in a compressional wave, the energy moves parallel to the medium of the wave, while in a transverse wave, the energy moves perpendicular to the medium.
What is the term for the transfer of energy by a disturbance that moves through space?
wave
