Waves that travel at the surface such as Raleigh and long waves?
Raleigh waves are surface waves that occur in many types of media, such as water and the Earth's crust. They cause the ground to roll up and down in a wave-like motion during an earthquake. Long waves, or long-period ocean waves, are also surface waves that have longer wavelengths and occur in the ocean due to forces such as gravity and wind.
How many seismometers do you need at a given place to fully record the motions arising from earthquake waves?
Typically, at least three seismometers are needed at a given place to fully record the motions arising from earthquake waves. With three seismometers, data can be used to triangulate the epicenter and determine the magnitude of the earthquake. More seismometers can provide more detailed and accurate information about the seismic event.
How many types of surface waves are there?
The three basic waveforms are Sine, Triangle and Square waves. For transmitting, the only one that matters is the Sine wave because it has no harmonics of its own. A "harmonic" is an unwanted emanation running at an exact multiple of the frequency you're trying to use.
What are P S and L waves?
They are seismic waves - those emitted by an earthquake. P-waves are known as primary waves. They have the fastest velocity of all the seismic waves and so arrive at a seismometer station first. They are a longitudinal or compression wave. S-waves are secondary waves. They travel more slowly than P-waves, but faster than surface waves so are the second seismic wave to be recorded at a seismometer station. They are transverse or shear waves. Finally there are the surface waves of which there are two main types. The L-wave or Love Wave and the R-wave or Rayleigh wave. These waves tend to have the largest magnitude and cause the majority of the damage that occurs during an earthquake.
Describe how energy released at an earthquake's focus can cause damage on the surface many kilometers from the epicenter?
When an earthquake occurs, energy is released in the form of seismic waves that travel through the Earth's crust. These waves can cause the ground to shake and rupture, leading to structural damage and landslides on the surface. The intensity of the shaking decreases with distance from the epicenter, but the energy released at the earthquake's focus can still cause significant damage many kilometers away.
Number of waves that pass a given point in one second is the waves?
Frequency
Measures how many waves pass a given in one second?
The frequency of a wave is the measure of how many wave cycles pass a given point in one second. It is typically measured in hertz (Hz).
What does number of waves that pass a given point in one second mean?
The number of waves that pass a given point in one second is called the frequency of the wave. It is measured in hertz (Hz) and indicates how many full wave cycles occur in one second. A higher frequency corresponds to a higher pitch in sound waves and a higher energy level in electromagnetic waves.
When there are more wave passing through the reference point in a period of timewhich wave characteristics also increase?
If more waves pass through a reference point in a given period of time, the frequency of the waves will increase. Frequency is a measure of how many waves pass a point in a given amount of time, so an increase in waves passing through a reference point will result in a higher frequency.

How much fps does a 44 magnum have?
How many feet per scond? depends on the laoding of the cartridge, and what it is fired from. For most handguns, between 1300 and 1600 feet per second.
What is the term that describes the number of waves that move through a given point over?
Frequency
Particles or waves given off by atoms undergoing nuclear decay produce?
Produce a large amount of heat and energy which is utilized for many purposes
How can you measure the surface temperature of the sun?
Indirectly, by analyzing the light given off by the Sun. Typically, a hotter object will emit electromagnetic waves of higher-energy - on average, because such an object will emit a mix of many electromagnetic waves.
What describes how many waves are in a wavelength in a amount of space?
Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive crests (or troughs) of a wave. The frequency of a wave determines how many wavelengths pass a point in a given amount of time. The more waves that pass by a point in a second, the higher the frequency.
How many pages does The Waves have?
The Waves has 324 pages.
How many waves occur in a given time?
The number of waves that occur in a given time period depends on the frequency of the wave. The frequency is defined as the number of complete wave cycles that occur in one second and is measured in hertz. For example, if a wave has a frequency of 10 Hz, it means that 10 complete wave cycles occur in one second.
