S waves cannot pass through the outer core. P waves can pass through both outer and inner core.
What else can I help you with?
Does a primary seismic wave have a larger shadow zone than a secondary wave?
no, an s-wave shadow zone is way larger
What is an swave?
An S-wave is a secondary wave that comes after P-waves, and can travel only through solids.
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.
What is it called when a combined wave has a larger amplitude than the original wave?
constructive interference
When was Shadow Wave created?
Shadow Wave was created on 2010-08-26.
What is the ISBN of Shadow Wave?
The ISBN of Shadow Wave is 978-0-340-95647-2.
What wave with smaller amplitude the wave with lager amplitude?
A wave with smaller amplitude will have fewer particles experiencing maximum displacement compared to a wave with larger amplitude. This means that the smaller amplitude wave will have less energy and a lower intensity than the wave with larger amplitude.
When two waves interfere can the resultant wave be larger than either of the two original waves?
Yes, interference can result in a wave that is larger than either of the two original waves when the peaks of the waves align (constructive interference). This causes the amplitudes to add up, resulting in a larger wave.
Why is the R wave taller than the P wave on the ECG graph cycle?
The QRS complex is normally larger than the P Wave because depolarization of the larger muscle mass of the ventricles generates more voltage than does depolarization of the smaller muscle mass of the atria
Which wave is larger the one for atrial contraction or the one for ventricular contraction?
The wave for ventricular contraction is larger than the wave for atrial contraction. This is because the ventricles have thicker muscle walls and contract more forcefully in order to pump blood out to the body.
Which wave in the ocean has more energy a small wave or a large wave?
A larger wave typically contains more energy than a smaller wave. This is because larger waves have greater amplitude and move more water as they crest and break, resulting in more energy transfer.
Are mp3 files larger than wave files?
No, usually MP3 files are much smaller than wave files, because they use compression to reduce the size.
