What else can I help you with?
Which p wave takes a more direct route to the receiving station wave a or wave b?
Wave A takes a more direct route to the receiving station as it travels through the Earth's interior, while wave B experiences more reflection and refraction as it travels along the Earth's surface.
What happens to the distance between P waves and S waves as you travel farther away from the epicenter?
It is because the epicenter decreases their strenght as it is closer to it
A wave whose energy travels the same way as it was transferred?
A transverse wave is a type of wave where the disturbance moves perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer. This means that the energy travels in the same direction as it was transferred. Examples of transverse waves include light waves and electromagnetic waves.
What is a compressional wave?
Answer 1: A compressional wave is a wave that is close together and transverse waves are waves that are going the way the wave travels. Answer 2: Basically, it's a sound wave. A compressional wave is a wave that travels back and forth, moving with compression. Scince it is a mechanical wave it must use a medium to travel though. A sound wave is a good example of a compressional wave. A compressional wave is a wave that travels back and forth, moving with compression.

What is a seismic wave that travels through the earths interior?
body waves
What happens to the energy of a sound wave as the source gets farther away?
As a sound wave travels away from the source, its energy spreads out over a larger area, leading to a decrease in the intensity of the sound. This reduction in energy leads to a decrease in the loudness of the sound as it travels farther away.
What is the definition of Pwaves?
A Pwave is the first wave to arrive during an earthquake, P waves compress and then expand. They can damage buildings.
What happens to the frequency of each wave as it gets farther away from the source?
Nothing. If the frequency of a wave depended on its distance from the source, then . . . -- The key of the marching band would change as it passed you in the parade. -- So would the colors on the flag.
When a compression wave travels through a medium in what direction is the medium is displaced?
In a compression wave, the medium is displaced in the same direction that the wave is travelling. This means that the particles of the medium move closer together and then farther apart as the wave passes through.
What particles in air spread farther apart after the compression of the wave passes by it is called?
The particles that spread farther apart after the compression of a wave passing through air are called rarefactions. These regions of lower particle density are a result of the alternating compression and expansion of air particles as the wave travels through the medium.
What is material through which a wave travels?
The general term for what a wave travels through is a medium, but in the case of earthquakes the wave travels through the ground.
If two waves start out in phase with one another but one wave travels half a wavelength farther than the other before they come together will the waves be in phase or out of phase when they combine?
When one wave travels half a wavelength farther than the other, they will be out of phase when they come together. This is because the extra half wavelength causes a phase shift of pi radians, resulting in destructive interference.
Which type of wave travels by pushing and pulling on matter it travels through?
That is a longitudinal wave.
The speed of a wave is how far the wave travels in one unit of?
The speed of a wave is how far the wave travels in one unit of time.
The material through which a wave travels is?
The material through which a wave travels is called the medium.
What is a seismic wave that travels through Earth Interior?
A body wave is a seismic wave that travels through Earths interior.
What is velocity of a wave?
How quickly the wave travels
