Which direction is the particle motion in shear waves relative to the energy of the wave?
The particle motion in shear waves relative to the energy of the wave is downward.
Particles in a wave move in an elliptical or circular motion?
surface waves
What is bulk motion?
Bulk motion is a type of motion that an object does. The object moves in a wave-like formation instead of just the waves moving.
How are Waves are carriers of energy?
Waves are carriers of energy because waves are caused by energy flowing through the water making them move in a wavy motion. The waves are also caused by the wind blowing on the top of the water.
Which particles move parallel to wave motion?
The particles of the wave (for compressive waves). Or for transverse waves, yet the particles move parallel to the wave too.
describe the longitudinal nature of sound waves?
waves in which the motion of the individual particles of the medium is in a direction that is parallel to the direction of energy transport.
What happens the the p wave when they strike the inner core?
When the P wave strikes the inner core it bends and goes in a different direction.
What do mechanical waves use to transfer energy?
The motion of mass, i.e. kinetic energy passed down the line.
Describe what happens to waves during constructive displacement and after they have passed by each other?
the sound is displaced which for means that a new sound will come.
A wave in which the motion of the material is perpendicular to the motion of the wave is?
Transverse waves . Eg , sea waves .
What type of waves occur when the motion of the medium is parallel to the direction of the wave?
Longitudinal waves occur where the motion of the medium is parallel to the waves.
Do S waves travel through earth's inner core?
While S waves (shear waves) can travel through earth's solid inner core, they cannot travel through earth's liquid outer core, which surrounds the inner core.So, unless the S waves originated inside the inner core (which seems unlikely) there are no S waves traveling through earth's inner core.
What waves have a motion that is similar to that of ocean waves?
All transverse waves do.
The motion of these waves is similar to that of ocean waves?
L
What waves occurs when the motion of the medium is parallel to the direction of the waves?
amplitude Longitudinal waves occurs when the motion of the medium. This is parallel to the direction of the wave.
How does this motion relate to wave motion?
because motion is moving and wave motion has waves
What earth layer are s waves not transmitted?
S waves can not travel through liquids, the outer core is a liquid, so the S waves can not travel through the outer core. You can also determine that since the outer core is all around the inner core, that the S waves can no travel through the inner core as well.
