Primary Wave can move through solids, liquids, and gases.
Primary waves are formed due to the property of materials that they respond to compressional stress. As all materials(solids, liquids and gases) respond to compressional stress, primary waves can move through all phases.
Secondary Wave can move through solids, but NOT liquids and gases.
Secondary waves are formed due to the property of materials responding to shear stress. As fluids do not respond to shear stress, secondary wave does not move through fluids.
Surface Waves move through solids along the boundary of two layers.

What do earthquake waves have in common with other waves?
They bend when they go through different materials.
How could you use seismic safe in a sentence?
Earthquake waves are transmitted through materials in earth and along earth's surface , also known as seismic waves .
Does an opaque material scatter light waves as they pass through it?
Light waves do not pass through opaque materials. Light is absorbed or reflected by opaque things. To be sure there is some scattering, nothing is entirely absorbent.
What materials reflect electromagnetic waves?
Any good conductor reflects lower frequency electromagnetic waves up through the microwave bands, polished surfaces (these do not have to be conductors) reflect electromagnetic waves in the IR/visible/UV frequency range, almost nothing reflects (except at very very shallow angles) x-ray/gamma ray electromagnetic waves.
Where do P waves travel fastest?
Generally everywave will travel the fastest through solids. These waves include sound, and other vibrational waves. But Electro Magnetic Radiation wave along with light will slow down and can very well change direction mid stream. They travel quite fast through slate
What can sound waves get transferred through materials?
All sound waves can do that.
Waves travel quicker through solid gases?
Waves travel faster through denser materials. However, Electromagnetic waves travel faster through less dense materials. It travels fastest in vacuum.
What do earthquake waves have in common with other waves?
They bend when they go through different materials.
Which of the following types of waves travels at a different speed through different materials?
light waves
What materials will sound travel through?
Sound waves will travel through gases, liquids, and solids. Sound waves cannot pass through a vacuum.
Can electomagnetic waves travel through a medium?
yes, they travel through water, air, even solid materials. electromagnetic waves can also travel through a vacuum.
What do light waves propagate through?
Light waves propagate best through vacuum, or "nothing." Light waves also propagate at slower speeds through denser materials, such as air, glass, and clear water.
What do electoromagnetic waves travel through?
The name is "electromagnetic waves". They can travel through empty space, and - depending on the specific frequency - through certain materials. For example, light can travel through glass.
How can seismic waves be used to help scientists know what type of materials each layer of the earth is made of?
A+ answer: all waves change directions as they travel through different materials

Data table for sound waves through different materials affect the sound we hear?
no
Through what materials do infrared waves pass?
glass,water,air,photographic films,
