The fastest wave is the electromagnetic wave.
Of the seismic waves, the P-wave is the fastest seismic wave.
Light wave travels fastest in air Sound wave travels fastest in solid or liquid
Primary Wave (P wave)
Indian Ocean waves.
Electromagnetic waves travel the fastest, at the speed of light in a vacuum, 3.0 x 108 m/s.
p waves aka primary waves
p waves aka primary waves
the middle wave!
The fastest seismic wave that also moves back and forth is the P-wave.
The first wave is the fastest
p - these are also the fastest
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 speed of waves varies greatly, depending on the type of wave. The fastest waves travel at the speed of light, which is ca. 300 million meters/second.
