The bending of waves around a barrier?
diffraction
In which area do seismic waves change dramatically in speed?
they use vaginas
What type of waves do particalles in a medium move perpendicular to the direction that the waves move?
Waves that oscillate perpendicularly to their propagation are called transverse waves.
What is the average speed of primary waves?
The average speed of primary waves, often referred to as P waves, is 21,600 kilometers per hour. P waves and S waves are used to determine the location of earthquakes.
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.
The bending of waves due to a change in speed is?
It is Refraction
What is Refracted Wavefront?
Refracted Wavefront is the bending of the path of the waves, is accompanied by a change in speed and wavelength of the waves.
What is it called when waves change there speed when they go in to different matereals?
This is related to a change in direction. The change in direction is called refraction. The numbers that describe HOW MUCH the speed of the wave slows down is called "index of refraction", especially in the case of light waves.
What is the bending of waves around the edge of the barrier called?
Diffraction
Refraction and what both involve the bending of waves?
Waves change direction through refraction, and through reflection.
When is refraction of light not possible?
The bending effect called refraction happens when waves cross the boundary between two different media. However, there will be no bending if (a) the left and right sides of the waves encounter the boundary simultaneously or (b) the speed of the waves is the same in both media. This is because bending only occurs when one side of the wave overtakes, i.e. advances relative to the other.
When waves change speed as they pass from one medium to another is called?
it is called a DIFFRACTION
The bending of waves around barriers and through openings is called?
Diffraction
The bending of waves as they enter a different medium?
That's called "refraction".
What is the bending of a waves as they enter a different medium called?
Type your answer here... it is called as the refraction.
Why do seismic waves change speed?
"True, the Seismic Waves change speed and direction when they encounter different materials."
The wave patterns seen in Figure 25.6 are composed of circles What does this tell you about the speed of the waves in different directions?
speed of the waves will not change by the pattern of waves. the speed of a wave will change only when the medium or its properties change.
