What type of wave moves the fastest?
Light wave travels fastest in air Sound wave travels fastest in solid or liquid
Which are faster s waves and p waves or surface waves?
The fast is primary wave which travels through liguid, solid and gas. This how Geologist know the outer core is liquid. Secondary waves travel through only solid. The primary wave are the first to reach the seismograph.
Which wave travels farther p-waves or s-waves?
P-waves travel farther than S-waves because they are faster and can pass through both solid and liquid materials. S-waves, on the other hand, are slower and can only travel through solid materials, so their range is more limited.
Why does the p wave travel fastest?
The only reason that the p wave arrives faster than an s wave is because the p wave comes first in the chain. Thus, depending on the type of earthquake, the s wave tends to come 1-3 hours after the p wave.
What did you observe happened when a P wave traveled from a solid to a liquid?
When a P wave travels from a solid to a liquid, it slows down and refracts, bending towards the normal. This change in speed and direction is due to the differences in the elastic properties of the two mediums.
Will sound travel faster in solid liquid or gas?
Sound is a compression wave that travels via then vibrations of particles. If the particles are closer together then the wave (sound) moves faster. Particles are closer together in a liquid than a gas, therefore sound travels faster through liquids.
Will a seismic wave go faster through a liquid or a solid?
Solid, because that kind of wave goes fastest through solids
What happens to the speed of a wave as it travels from a liquid to a solid?
The speed of a wave typically increases as it travels from a liquid to a solid. This is because sound waves travel faster through denser mediums, and solids are denser than liquids. The increased speed is due to the higher elasticity and stiffness of the solid material.
Why does a seismic wave travels faster through solid rock than through water?
Seismic waves travels faster through solid rock than water because their speed depends on the density and composition of material that they pass through.Solid rock is denser than water, hence the energy from seismic waves transfer faster through solid rock than in water.
How does the velocity of a P wave change as it travels from solid to liquid?
The velocity of a P wave typically increases when it travels from a solid material to a liquid material. This is because the rigidity of solids allows the P wave to travel faster, while liquids are less dense and less rigid, which can cause the P wave to slow down.
Does sound travel faster through through a solid or gas?
Sound travels faster through some solid because, in general, the particles are packed more closely together. This transfers the sound wave faster. Other solids do not transmit sound well at all.
Through what do seismic waves travel fastest?
seismic wave travels faster through solid rock and slower through water, but i dont know why!
How does sound travel through a solid?
Sound, which is mechanical energy, travels through a solid by setting up a mechanical compression wave in that solid. When the compression wave of the sound in air strikes the solid, it compresses the solid. It isn't much, but the energy delivered by the air is transferred into the solid. Waves of compression and rarefaction move through the solid as they did in air, but move much faster in a solid.

What kind of wave has matter that moves in the same direction as the wave travels?
Longitudinal wave.
Which factors influences the speed of a wave?
The speed of a wave is influenced by the medium through which it travels (such as air, water, or a solid material), the temperature of the medium, and the frequency and wavelength of the wave. In general, waves travel faster in denser materials and cooler temperatures.
What type of wave travels faster through a gas than a solid can be used to take images of bones and travels at 300000000 ms through space?
The type of wave described is an X-ray wave. X-rays travel faster through gas than solids due to less resistance. In space, X-rays travel at the speed of light, which is approximately 300,000,000 meters per second.
