They would likely have much less of an impact than real ocean waves do. As it is, the only compressional waves that can move through water are sound waves, as water is, of the most part, incompressible, as are most liquids and solids.

Which one of the following is NOT an example of a compressional wave a wave moving through a coiled spring sound traveling through the air sound traveling through water green light traveling thru air?

Light is an example of an electromagnetic (EM) wave. EM waves are transverse waves, not compressional waves. Sound waves are compressional waves, so both sound traveling through air and water would be compressional. Waves traveling along a coiled spring compress the coils together and spread them apart, so this is also an example of a compressional wave.


What is a wave in which matter moves in the same direction as the wave?

A wave in which matter moves in the same direction as the wave is called a longitudinal wave. In a longitudinal wave, the particles of the medium oscillate parallel to the direction of energy transport. Sound waves are a common example of longitudinal waves.


What would happened to skiing without friction?

The same thing that would happen to waves if there were no water on the planet


A transverse or compressional wave that can travel only through matter?

That would be sound.


What will happen if waves meet gelatin?

it would melt.


What would happen if S-waves encountered a lake or pond?

S-waves would not be able to travel through water as they require a solid medium to propagate. When S-waves encounter a lake or pond, they would be absorbed and dissipate, resulting in a decrease or complete loss of energy.


Do lakes have waves?

They do not have natural waves but if someone did a belly flop into the water then waves would be made.


What is the speed of 6 meter water waves?

The speed of water waves is determined by the frequency and wavelength of the waves. In deep water, the speed of water waves is proportional to the square root of the wavelength. So, for 6 meter water waves, the speed would depend on the specific conditions of the water body such as depth and type of waves.


What would happen if you reduced the amplitude of a sound wave?

Because sound waves are displacements of molecules of the medium they travel through, reducing the amplitude would mean decreasing the displacement the molecules experience as the wave passes through. Even though sound waves are longitudinal (meaning the displacement is in the direction the wave travels in) and waves in water are transversal (the displacement is perpendicular to the wave's direction), an example can be found in water waves; reducing the amplitude in water waves would reduce the size/height of the waves. In the case of audible sound waves reducing the amplitude will decrease the volume of the sound.


What would happen if there were no waves on the worlds ocean and give three examples?

No Chance stop the waves in the ocean, don't think it.


What waves can and cannot exist with a medium?

Well p-waves can not because they are to strong. If you do a tsunami would happen with out warning. You do want this to happen. If tis does happen make sure you let thee tsunami warning system know.


How would compare and contrast the reflection refraction and diffraction of water waves and sound waves?

they are all related to how waves change direction
