A seismogram shows that p waves travel?

The seismogram shows that P waves travel faster than S waves, as they are the first waves to arrive at the seismograph station after an earthquake occurs. P waves are compressional waves that can travel through solids, liquids, and gases, whereas S waves are shear waves that can only travel through solids.


What travels on through solids?

Sound waves can travel through solids by causing particles to vibrate and pass energy along. This transmission is more efficient in solids than in liquids or gases because the particles in solids are closely packed.


What type of earthquake wave can go through solids and liquids?

P-waves can pass through liquids,solids,and gases. A P-wave is a type of body wave that has an up and down motion. Another type of body wave is the S-wave. S-waves CAN'T pass through liquids but they can pass through solids and gases. I hope that answered your question. =)


What tpyes of materials can the three waves move through?

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 seismic wave can go through liquid?

Surface waves, specifically Love waves, can travel through liquids. Love waves are a type of surface wave that occurs on the surface of solids, liquids, and gases.

What can s waves not travel through?

S-waves cannot travel through liquids, but they can travel through solids and gases. P-waves can travel through solids, liquids and gases. Hope this helped! :D


Does air travel through solids liquids and gases?

Air can travel through some kinds of solids, if they are porous. Otherwise it can't. It can travel through liquids in the form of bubbles. It does not exactly travel through gases so much as mix with them.


Does radiation travel through solids liquids or gases?

Radiation can travel through solids, liquids, and gases. The extent to which radiation penetrates these materials depends on factors such as the type of radiation, the energy level, and the density of the material.


Can light travel through solids liquids and gases?

Yes, light can travel through solids, liquids, and gases. The speed and ability of light to travel through these mediums may vary depending on their optical properties, such as density and composition. In solids and liquids, light may experience absorption and scattering, while in gases, it may travel relatively more freely.


Through what are things can sound waves travel?

Sound waves can travel through solids, liquids, and gases.


What are the mediums that waves can travel through?

Waves can travel through many media, depending on their nature. Sound waves can go through solids, liquids and gases. Transverse shock waves can only travel through solids. Electromagnetic waves can go through some solids, liquids or gases, or through a vacuum.


How Sounds travel through solids liquids and gas?

sound is made up of vibrations, and so you hear sound as the vibrations travel through the particles of solids liquids and gases.


Can eletricity travel through solids and liquids and gases?

Yes, electricity can travel through solids and liquids as they contain charged particles that can conduct electricity. However, gases are poor conductors of electricity as they have fewer free-moving charged particles than solids and liquids.


Can a p wave travel through gas?

Yes, a P-wave can travel through gas. P-waves are seismic waves that are the fastest and can travel through solids, liquids, and gases. They compress and expand the material they travel through, which allows them to propagate through gases as well.


What vibrations travel through liquids solids and gases?

Sound can penetrate those mediums.


Do sound waves travel through solids or liquids or gases or all three?

yes it does


What are some things vibration can travel through?

Vibration can travel through solids, liquids, and gases. In solids, such as metal or wood, vibrations travel quickly due to the close arrangement of particles. In liquids and gases, such as water or air, vibrations travel more slowly but can still propagate.
