What type of waves is produced during an earthquake?
Seismic waves consist ofP waves which travel through the Earth fast. They compress the medium they travel through;S waves which also travel through the Earth, shearing the solid Earth as they go. S waves do not travel through liquid;Surface waves which can cause the Earth to undulate like water waves or surface waves that cause the Earth to shear.
Can Fluids transmit P waves?
Yes, P (longitudinal) waves can travel through solid, liquid, and gaseous mediums.
In what direction do seismic waves carry the energy of an earthquake?
Seismic waves are the earths crust vibrating. there are two types of waves P-waves and S-waves (Primary and Secondary) Primary waves travel faster than s waves and can travel through solid and liquid, S-waves can only travel through solids
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.
Do S waves travel through earth's inner core?
While S waves (shear waves) can travel through earth's solid inner core, they cannot travel through earth's liquid outer core, which surrounds the inner core.So, unless the S waves originated inside the inner core (which seems unlikely) there are no S waves traveling through earth's inner core.
What is another name for the material through which waves travel?
The material through which waves travel is called a medium. This could be a solid, liquid, or gas.
What is the material which sound waves travel through?
Sound waves travel through a medium, such as air, water, or a solid material like metal or concrete. The medium acts as a carrier for the sound waves to propagate.
Ein which of the follwing can sound waves not travil?
Sound waves can travel through any compressible material (which means any real material), be it solid, liquid, or gas. Sound waves cannot travel through a vacuum.
What material do waves travel through?
They travel through a material medium.
Is it true that sound waves can travel through a vacuum?
No, sound waves cannot travel through a vacuum because they require a medium (such as air, water, or a solid material) to propagate. In the absence of a medium, there is nothing for the sound waves to travel through, so they cannot propagate.
What state of matter do P and S waves travel through?
P waves can travel through all types of matter. S waves can only travel through solids.
Which type of waves cannot be transmitted through vacuum?
Mechanical waves, such as sound waves, require a medium (such as air, water, or solid material) to travel and cannot propagate through a vacuum. Electromagnetic waves, on the other hand, do not require a medium and can travel through a vacuum.
Which is stronger p waves or s waves?
P waves are typically stronger than S waves because they are the fastest seismic waves and can travel through solid rock, liquid, and gas. S waves are slower and can only travel through solid material, resulting in less overall energy and strength.
What is the material called that waves travel through?
Any material through which any wave travels is called a medium. Ocean waves travel through the medium of seawater. Sound cannot travel through outer space, because there is no medium there to support sound waves. Mechanical waves such as sound and vibration require a medium through which to travel. Usually air, or a solid or liquid - matter in other words.
What medium is the wave traviling through?
The wave is likely traveling through a medium such as air, water, or a solid material. Sound waves travel through air or other substances, while ocean waves travel through water. Electromagnetic waves, like light, can travel through empty space.
What is the difference between the speed of primary rays and the speed of secondary waves?
Primary rays, or P-waves, are faster than secondary waves, or S-waves. P-waves travel through both solid and liquid, while S-waves only travel through solid material. P-waves have a higher velocity because they are compressional waves, whereas S-waves are shear waves that move slower due to the resistance of the material.
What is the material that waves travel through?
medium
