Do p waves or surface waves move faster?
No. Surface waves are slower than both P and S-waves.
Are secondary waves faster than surface waves?
yes
Do surface waves move faster than P-waves or S-waves?
No. Surface waves are slower than both P and S-waves.
Are S-wave slower than p waves?
yes, their speed is about 60% of the speed of a p-wave through a given material. s-waves are also known as surface waves or secondary waves. they are known as secondary waves because they occur second because of their slower speed.
These waves are slower than those that originate at the focus.?
These waves are slower than those that originate at the focus.
Do p waves or surface waves move faster?
No. Surface waves are slower than both P and S-waves.
Which travels slower p waves or surface waves?
surface waves because p waves and s waves are way faster so here is how it goes from fastest to slowest: is p wave and then s wave and then surface waves
Do ocean waves travel faster or slower than primary waves or secondary waves?
only faster not slower.
What travels faster P waves or S waves?
S-waves are stronger, but travel slower and can only travel through solids.
What is the main difference between body waves and surface waves?
Surface waves travel slower than body waves.
What is the main difference between body wave and surface waves?
Surface waves travel slower than body waves.
Why sound waves faster than light waves?
they aren't, they are much much slower.
Will a sound wave move faster in winter?
No it will move slower. Waves move faster in warm air and slower in cold air.
Are secondary waves faster than surface waves?
yes
Do surface waves move faster than P-waves or S-waves?
No. Surface waves are slower than both P and S-waves.
Are p-waves faster than s-waves and surface waves?
Yes. P-waves have the highest velocity of all seismic waves and surface waves have the lowest.
Do brainwaves travel faster or slower than the speed of light?
More slowly. Brain waves are electrical impulses in the brain, and are VERY slow compared to electromagnetic energy in free space.
