Examples of mechanical and electromagnetic waves?
Some examples of mechanical waves are Sound, waves in a slinky, and water. Mechanical waves need matter to move. Some examples of electromagnetic waves are Radio, Gamma, X-rays, Infra-red, and Microwaves Electromagnetic waves are able to travel through a medium of liquids, solids, and geaseous states, or through space where there is no material at all, called "vacuum".
Does waves move energy through space no matter what?
Because of the force that it has, (kinetic)
Can sound waves move through space?
space is a vacuum, and sound can't move through a vacuum.
Do light waves need to move through a medium?
No
These move through earth by causing particles to move at right angles to the waves' direction?
the answer to this question is transverse wave
What tpyes of materials can the three waves move through?
Primary Wave can move through solids, liquids, and gases.Primary waves are formed due to the property of materials that they respond to compressional stress. As all materials(solids, liquids and gases) respond to compressional stress, primary waves can move through all phases.Secondary Wave can move through solids, but NOT liquids and gases.Secondary waves are formed due to the property of materials responding to shear stress. As fluids do not respond to shear stress, secondary wave does not move through fluids.Surface Waves move through solids along the boundary of two layers.
Can s waves move thought soilds?
Yes, but they cannot be detected through liquids.
How does light waves compare with sound waves?
Light waves are electromagnetic waves that move at the speed of light. Sound waves are compression waves that move through a medium (air, liquids, solids), with varying speeds according to the medium.
What can the p-wave move through magma rock or both?
P-waves are longitudinal / compressional waves and so can pass through both solids (rock) and liquids (magma).
How a primary wave moves?
P Waves, or primary waves, move through both solids and liquids. When traveling through solids, P-Waves move fast through dense solids and slower through less dense solids. They move in a compression motion, much like a slinky would. P-Waves are noticed first because they travel faster than S Waves.
What do primary waves do to rocks?
The first waves to hit are primary waves. Primary waves are seismic waves that compress and stretch the ground. P waves, or primary waves, can wreck buildings and can move straightforward through solids and liquids.
Compression shock waves move through both solids and liquids?
yes, but their properties differ with binding strength and density
Do sound waves particles move fast though a solid?
Yes, they do. Sound waves move fastest through solids, less fast through liquids, and slowest through gasses. This is because the molecules of solids are closer together, while those of gasses are further apart, creating more space that the waves must jump to move.
What type of earthquake wave can go through solids and liquids?
P-waves can pass through liquids,solids,and gases. A P-wave is a type of body wave that has an up and down motion. Another type of body wave is the S-wave. S-waves CAN'T pass through liquids but they can pass through solids and gases. I hope that answered your question. =)
What can a siesmic wave do if it can travel through liquids gases and solids in the continental and or oceanic crust?
First we must define seismic waves, it consists in two forms, P-waves (longitudinal/compressional waves) and S-waves (traverse or shear waves), P-waves travel faster than S-waves and can pass through solids and liquids of the Earth's inner parts, however, they do least damage due to the way they move (up/down). S-waves, however, do the most damage, they move sideways and has a large amplitude and thus does the main damages earthquakes; nevertheless they do not travel through liquids. Therefore, seismic waves that travel through the Earth's crust does no damage as even close to the surface, the P-waves are virtually safe, travelling a long way, it runs out of energy.
How fast do secondary waves travel?
Secondary or S Waves are a form of waves which are produced as a result of shift in tectonic plates during an earthquake. Such waves only travel through solid surfaces and disintegrate upon reaching liquids. They always tend to adapt a back and forth motion as they move along. They are often referred to as "body waves".
What happens to S waves when they reach the liquid part of the Earth's surface?
S waves cause rocks particles to move from side to side. The rock particles move at the right angles to the direction of the waves. However liquids can not support shear stresses and therefore S waves can not propagate through them.
