What type of waves do fluids transmit and why?
fluids usually transmit only what type of waves
What is two characteristics of body waves?
Body waves are seismic waves that travel through the interior of the Earth and are primarily classified into two types: P-waves (primary waves) and S-waves (secondary waves). One key characteristic of P-waves is that they are compressional waves that travel faster than S-waves and can move through both solids and fluids. In contrast, S-waves are shear waves that can only travel through solids, making them slower than P-waves and capable of causing more damage during an earthquake.
Are P-waves and S-waves transverse or longitudinal waves?
P-waves are longitudinal and S-waves are transverse waves.
What are the three categories of seismic waves?
p wave comes first s wave comes next and last comes surface wave.
Which travels slower p waves or surface waves?
surface waves because p waves and s waves are way faster so here is how it goes from fastest to slowest: is p wave and then s wave and then surface waves
What type of waves do fluids transmit and why?
fluids usually transmit only what type of waves
Do fluids usually transmit only transverse waves?
No, fluids can transmit both transverse and longitudinal waves. In a fluid medium, such as water or air, the propagation of waves can involve both types of wave motion, depending on the properties of the medium and the nature of the disturbance causing the waves.
Does the auditory canal filled with fluid?
Yes it does :) the sound waves travels to this and turns to fluids. Then it gets transmit to the brain.
What do earthquakes waves transmit?
Seismic waves (like all waves) transmit energy.
What type of waves do earthquakes transmit?
Earthquakes transmit seismic waves, which are vibrations that travel through the Earth's crust and are responsible for the shaking felt during an earthquake. There are two main types of seismic waves: body waves (P-waves and S-waves) that travel through the Earth's interior, and surface waves that travel along the Earth's surface.
Why p waves can't pass through liquid?
P-waves cannot pass through liquid because liquids are not able to support the shear stress that P-waves generate. P-waves travel by compressing and expanding the material they pass through, and liquids do not have the ability to transmit these compressional forces. This causes the P-waves to be absorbed or converted into S-waves upon encountering a liquid medium.
Does body tissue transmit HIV?
what 3 fluids transmit the hiv virus? saliva, blood, genital fluids
Which type of seismic wave cannot pass through air and liquid?
The type of seismic wave that cannot pass through air and liquid is the S-wave, or secondary wave. S-waves are shear waves that require a medium with rigidity to propagate, which means they can only travel through solids. Unlike P-waves (primary waves), which are compressional waves and can move through both solids and fluids, S-waves are unable to transmit through liquids or gases.
Communications satellites transmit UV waves?
No- UV is ultraviolet light. They transmit radio waves.
In what material will an S wave disappear?
An S wave will disappear in a liquid or gas, as these mediums do not transmit shear waves. Instead, only P waves can travel through liquids and gases.
What do electromagnetic waves transmit?
Electromagnetic waves transmit energy and information through the interaction of electric and magnetic fields.
Are s and p waves the same velocity in the same material?
No, S-waves (shear waves) and P-waves (primary waves) do not travel at the same velocity in the same material. P-waves, which are compressional waves, move faster than S-waves because they can travel through both solids and fluids, while S-waves can only travel through solids. The velocity of these waves depends on the material's properties, such as density and elasticity, resulting in different speeds for each wave type.
