A seismogram shows that p waves travel?
P waves travel through solids, liquids, and gases. it is the fastest of all the waves.
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. =)
Can p waves travel through the mantle?
Yes. Compressional waves (P-waves) can travel through solids, liquids, and gases. They can propagate through every layer of earth's interior. In contrast, shear waves (S-waves) can pass through solids but not liquids or gases. As they propagate toward the center of the earth they pass through the crust, refract through the crust-mantle interface, pass through the mantle, but cannot pass through the mantel-outer core interface because the outer core is liquid.
Why are there laws only for gases and not for solids or liquids?
There are laws for solids and liquids, too. For instance solids have a coeffient of linear expansion and liquids (and gasses) have a viscosity. Many others.
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.
Does radiation travel through solids liquids or gases?
Gases, then liquids, then solids.Good luck : )
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
Can eletricity travel through solids and liquids and gases?
yes
Can light travel through solids liquids and gases?
Yes
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.
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.
Do sound waves travel best through solids liquids gases or vacuums?
Sounds can't travel through a vacuum, it requires a medium (something to travel through). It can travel through the rest but the best is gases because the particles are more spaced out, unlike solids and liquids which are more closely packed.
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
Why does sound travel faster through solids than liquids or gases?
bounces of glass
Can electric charges travel through wires?
Electric charges can travel through solids, liquids, or gases. They can travel through conductors, insulators, and semiconductors.
