Vibration is the motion or effect of fast or slow moving particles creating specific movements regarding to how fast, how slow, how big, or how small the object is or was.

What is the vibration of the ground caused by seismic waves?

The vibration of the ground caused by seismic waves refers to the oscillations that occur during an earthquake as energy is released from the Earth's crust. These waves travel through the Earth and cause the ground to shake, which can vary in intensity and duration depending on the earthquake's magnitude and distance from the epicenter. Seismic waves are classified into two main types: body waves (P-waves and S-waves) that travel through the Earth's interior, and surface waves that travel along the Earth's surface. The vibrations can lead to structural damage, landslides, and other geological phenomena.


What type of waves are primary waves?

A primary wave is a strong vibration or wave that hits earths surface (P) and a secondary wave (S) is a wave that hits soon after but not nearly as big.


What causes waves?

The MOON cause waves on the surface of the ocean (and on lakes). The MOON transfers some of its energy to the water, through friction between the air molecules and the water molecules.


How does the speed of an object's vibration affects its sound?

Sound is the way that our ears and brains interpret compression waves (waves parallel to the direction of travel of the wave). As an object vibrates, it compresses and decompresses the air around it very quickly creating a compression wave. When the frequency of the object's vibration is faster, the rate at which it compresses and decompresses the air around it also is faster, meaning that our ears pick up a higher pitched sound. Slower vibrations create a lower pitched sound.


Are P-waves and S-waves transverse or longitudinal waves?

P-waves are longitudinal and S-waves are transverse waves.

What are sound waves of irregular vibration in matter?

The sound waves of irregular vibration in matter is called noise.


What does vibration have to do with waves?

Vibration is the source of waves. When an object vibrates, it creates disturbances in a medium, like air or water, that propagate as waves. The frequency of the vibration determines the frequency of the resulting wave.

What waves are caused by back and forth movement vibration of an object?

Mechanical waves are caused by the back and forth movement or vibration of an object. These waves require a medium, such as air or water, to travel through. Sound waves and seismic waves are examples of mechanical waves.


Are waves created by vibration?

Waves that travel through a medium are caused by vibration eg sound waves are caused by vibrating drum/ vocal cords etc and this causes the air particles to vibrate; a vibration in a still pond will cause waves of water. However, light, radio waves are radiation. Electromagnetic waves are radiated eg light from the Sun is radiated to Earth through the vacuum of space.
