What is the difference between a siesmic wave and a seismograph?
a siesmic wave is a wave that travels through the earth. there are two MAIN types, P and S waves. a siesmograph shows the type of wave and how far away it is from that point.
Which wave type is formed when the wave reach the earths surface?
L waves are formed when P&S waves reach the surface.
What is the transverse wave that is the second to reach the location of an earthquake?
These are known as the seismic waves or the s waves. They will reach the earthquake location second after the first shock.
How long does wave a take to reach a station?
The time it takes for wave A to reach a station depends on the distance between the source of the wave and the station, as well as the speed of the wave. Generally, this can range from a fraction of a second to several minutes for seismic waves, for example.
What type of wave is a flute wave?
A flute wave is a type of sound wave, specifically a longitudinal wave. When a flutist plays a note, it creates a series of compressions and rarefactions in the air, resulting in a sound wave that travels through the air to reach our ears.
Which type of earthquake wave is felt second at any given location near the earthquake?
The Secondary or S-wave.
Which type of body wave always arrives after the P-wave?
The next type of seismic wave to arrive after the P-wave is the S-wave.
After an earthquake which type of seismic waves reach seismometers last?
A surface wave is the last seismic wave to arrive after an earthquake.
This type of wave is most dangerous?
Tsunamis are generally considered the most dangerous type of wave due to their large size and destructive power, which can cause widespread devastation when they reach land.
What is the distance traveled each second by a wave?
"1 Hz" means that 1 complete wave passes the place where you're sitting each second. So regardless of what kind of wave it is or what its speed may be, if its frequency is 1 Hz, then it takes 1 second to travel 1 wavelength.
Which wave type is formed when the waves reach the Earth's surface?
Surface waves are formed when waves reach the Earth's surface. These are seismic waves that travel along the Earth's surface and can cause the most damage during an earthquake.
What is the frequency of of a wave measured in?
The standard unit for ANY type of frequency is the Hertz - cycles per second. Its dimensions are (1 / second).
