The radio waves from a lightning stroke travel at the speed of light, you can hear them as clicks on a long-wave radio, and they travel round the world in 1/7th of a second.
im pretty sure shock waves do. and light wave def. do.
why can s-wave can't travel but p-waves can
A specific type of mechanical wave known as a seismic wave.
a P wave, under the right conditions of course, can up to 12 parsecs in 10 minutes.
That depends a lot on the speed. Assume any appropriate speed, then divide the distance by the speed.
An S-wave travels at 3.5 kilometers per second. If you have an S-wave traveling 6000 kilometers, it would take 1.7seconds.
9,000 miles
A wave needs energy to travel.
In a solid such as rock, the primary wave can travel at 5 km/sec; it would take 400 seconds, or about 6.7 minutes to travel 2,000 km. If traveling through water, the wave travels at about 1.45 km/sec and would need 1,379 seconds (23 minutes) to travel 2,000 km.
about 1 minute

I believe you should review the speed of the wave the medium through which it is traveling and whether or not you have already been given all the information you need to answer.
P-waves travel at speeds between 5 to 8 km/s, as such a P-wave may take between 812 and 1300 seconds (13 and 22 minutes respectively) to travel 6500 km. Please see the related question on P-wave velocity.
