What do longitudinal waves have to do with earthquakes?
The disturbance from an earthquake propagates as a wave. This wave can be either longitudinal or transverse. (Since waves that pass through the Earth's core are always longitudinal, geologists conclude that the Earth is liquid. A liquid won't transport transverse waves.)
Can Fluids transmit P waves?
Yes, P (longitudinal) waves can travel through solid, liquid, and gaseous mediums.
How does muscle coordination enable the earth worm to move?
There will be contractions and expansions of circular and longitudinal muscles passing through the segmented body
Earthquakes produce what that travel through earth?
Seismic waves
Do all acids produce hydrogen when we pass an electric current through them?
no
Do longitudinal waves have high energy?
Yes. Longitudinal waves can produce standing waves.
What type instrument produce transverse wave?
If you mean sound waves, the only type of sound waves that can travel through air (or any gas, for that matter) is longitudinal waves.
Sound waves are longitudinal waves why?
For a sound wave traveling through air, the vibrations of the particles are best described as longitudinal.
Which type of wave travels slower through gases than it does through solid?
pressure waves longitudinal waves
The movement of energy through substances in longitudinal waves is?
The movement of energy through substances in longitudinal waves is sound. :)
A disturbance that travels through a medium as a longitudinal wave?
Light does that.
What kind of waves can travel only through a medium?
Longitudinal
Longitudinal waves cannot travel through a vacuum?
True.
How is sound propagated through air?
In the form of longitudinal waves
What lengthwise cut through any specimen?
Longitudinal section.
The movement of energy through substances longitudinal wave is what?
sound
What wave is sound that is a disturbance which travels through a medium?
Longitudinal
