What type of seismic waves cannot travel through water?

S-waves, or secondary waves, cannot travel through water because they oscillate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. Water lacks the necessary material properties (shear strength) to transmit these waves.


Which wave cannot travel through air or water?

THROUGH air or water transverse waves cannot travel. But on the surface of water transverse waves can be produced


What Sound cannot travel through a?

Sound cannot travel through a vacuum because it requires a medium, such as air or water, to transmit vibrations. In a vacuum, there are no particles for the sound waves to travel through, so the sound cannot propagate.


What types of substances can sound not travel through?

Sound cannot travel through a vacuum because it requires a medium, such as air, water, or a solid material. Sound also does not travel through gases in the same way it does through solids and liquids because gases are less dense. Additionally, sound does not travel through a perfect insulator that completely blocks the transfer of vibrations.


Which of these can sound not travel through?

Sound cannot travel through vacuum. It needs a medium, such as air, water, earth, etc.


Can sound travel easily through a vacuum?

No, sound cannot travel through a vacuum because sound waves require a medium, such as air, water, or solid materials, to propagate. In a vacuum, there is no medium for the sound waves to travel through, so they cannot propagate.


Can ultra sonic travel through vacuum?

No, ultrasound cannot travel through a vacuum because it requires a medium, such as air or water, to propagate. In a vacuum, there are no particles for the sound wave to travel through, so it cannot propagate.


Can gps signals travel underwater?

No, GPS signals cannot travel through water. Water is an effective barrier for GPS signals, causing them to weaken and lose accuracy when trying to penetrate underwater. GPS signals are designed to travel through the atmosphere, not through water.


Which can sound NOT travel through?

Vacuum as sound needs badly a material medium to get it propagated.


How fast can sound travel through a vacuum?

Sound cannot travel through a vacuum as it needs a medium, such as air, water, or solid material, to propagate. In a vacuum, there are no particles for sound waves to travel through, so the speed of sound is essentially zero.


Sound cannot travel through what?

Sound cannot travel through a vacuum because it requires a medium, such as air or water, to propagate. In the absence of a medium, there are no particles for the sound waves to travel through, so they cannot be transmitted.


Which mediums did the waves in exploration travel through a vaacum?

Waves cannot travel through vacuum as they require a medium like air, water, or solids to propagate. In a vacuum, there is no medium for waves to interact with, so they cannot travel.
