as v=f/\(lemda), it shows that velocity dependx on the frequency of wave i.e numbr of wavs produced in one second and wavelength(lemda) which is the distance between two consecutive crests or troughs in transverse waves nd in longitudnal waves it is distance betwen two consecutive compressions or rarefactions.

Why do seismic waves change speed?

"True, the Seismic Waves change speed and direction when they encounter different materials."


What affects the speed of seismic waves?

The speed of seismic waves are affected by the type of material that the waves are traveling through. in other words (as an example): some type of waves can travel through rocks but not through liquids.


The velocities of seismic waves traveling from earthquake foci?

The velocities of seismic waves traveling from earthquake foci depend on the type of waves and the properties of the material they travel through. For example, P waves are faster than S waves because they are compressional waves that can travel through both solids and liquids. The speed of seismic waves can also give information about the nature and structure of the Earth's interior.


What happens to seismic waves in the air?

In air, the seismic waves(P-wave) are simply sound waves, and travel with the speed of sound (approx. 335 m/s).


What is ther kind of seismic wave that travels fast and increase its speed with depth?

The seismic wave that travels fast and increases its speed with depth is called a primary or P-wave. P-waves are compressional waves that can travel through solids, liquids, and gases, and they are the fastest seismic waves.


What is the speed of seismic waves from the fastest to the slowest is it p waves s waves l wave or all three?

The speed of seismic waves from fastest to slowest is P waves (primary waves), S waves (secondary waves), and then surface waves. L waves are a type of surface wave, so they are generally slower than both P and S waves.


Which seismic wave moves through Earth at the fastest speed?

Primary waves (P-waves) move through Earth at the fastest speed among seismic waves. They are able to travel through both solids and liquids, making them the first waves to be detected after an earthquake.


Seismic waves increase in speed when they enter what?

Seismic waves increase in speed when they enter more rigid materials, such as solid rock or the Earth's mantle. This increase in speed is due to the higher elasticity and density of these materials, allowing the waves to propagate faster.


Where is the place within the earth where the speed of seismic waves increases sharply?

The place within the Earth where the speed of seismic waves increases sharply is known as the Moho discontinuity, or Mohorovicic discontinuity. This boundary separates the Earth's crust from the underlying mantle, and seismic waves are thought to speed up due to the change in composition and density between these two layers.


What is a place inside the earth where the speed of seismic waves increase sharply?

MOHO(:


What place within the earth where the speed of seismic waves increases sharply?

The Moho


Is seismic waves and earthquake waves the same?

Seismic waves are any waves that travel through the Earth. As such all earthquake waves are seismic waves, however not all seismic waves are caused by earthquakes.
