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.
The matter through which a wave travels is called what?
a medium. but longitudinal waves do not have to travel through a medium. This is why transverse waves cannot vibrate through space.a medium. but longitudinal waves do not have to travel through a medium. This is why transverse waves cannot vibrate through space.
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 are earthquake generated waves called?
Earthquake generated waves are called seismic waves. These are waves of energy that travel through the Earth's layers. Their velocity depends on the elasticity and density of the medium that they travel through.
What are the vibrations that move through the ground carrying the energy released during an earthquake called?
Seismic waves
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.
What are disturbances that carry energy through matter?
These disturbances are known as "waves". Examples include compression waves in air or other media (i.e., sound), and electromagnetic waves, which can travel both through matter and through empty space.
Do all waves travel through matter?
NO some waves like sound require matter to travel whereas light waves can travel in vacuum.
What travels only through matter light waves sound waves or radio waves?
Sound waves can only travel through matter, as they require a medium to propagate. Light waves and radio waves can travel through both matter and empty space.
The matter through which waves transfers energy?
The matter through which waves transfer energy is called the medium. Waves can travel through different mediums such as air, water, and solids, and they transfer energy by causing particles in the medium to vibrate.
What to waves travel through?
Sound waves travel through matter. The only thing it doesn't travel through is vacuums or outer space.
How is sound carried through matter?
it travel though things, waves, sound,which is called a pictch
Which earthquake waves travel through matter with a push pull motion?
Primary (P) waves, also known as compressional waves, travel through matter with a push-pull motion. These waves are the fastest seismic waves and can travel through solids, liquids, and gases.
In what form does sound travel through matter?
Through waves
Are waves an example of matter?
No. While waves can travel through matter the waves themselves are a means of transferring energy.
When a tree falls can sound waves travel?
Sound waves travel through matter. Our atmosphere is a mixture of gases which is a form of matter. Sound waves will travel through our atmosphere, even if there is no human ear to receive it.
Can compressional waves travel through a vacuum?
No, compressional waves require a medium to travel through, so they cannot travel through a vacuum where there is no matter. Sound waves, which are compressional waves, cannot propagate through a vacuum.
