Particles in a wave move in an elliptical or circular motion?
surface waves
What is the change in direction of waves when the waves travel from air to glass?
The waves are refracted towards the normal (ie towards the line perpendicular to the surface).
How do particles move in a surface wave?
Surface Waves can propagate only along the boundary of solid.Two types are:Rayliegh Waves propagate along boundary between two dissimilar solid media, in a plane perpendicular to the surface and containing the direction of propagation.Love Waves are polarized shear wave with an associated oscillatory particle motion parallel to the free space and perpendicular to the direction wave motion.
What is the abbreviation for secondary waves?

What general name is given to waves that travel along the surface of a material such as Rayleigh and Love waves?
Surface waves
What are the two types of seismic surface waves?
body waves and surface waves
Do p waves or surface waves move faster?
No. Surface waves are slower than both P and S-waves.
What are an example of surface wave?
Examples of surface waves include water waves on the ocean's surface, seismic surface waves that travel along the earth's surface during an earthquake, and electromagnetic waves that propagate along the boundaries between different materials.
What are the three seismic waves in order?
The three types of seismic waves are: P waves S waves Surface waves ( two surface waves. Riley surface wave and love surface wave named after scientists
Where do surface waves occur?
Surface waves occur at the boundary between two different mediums, such as air and water, or air and land. They travel along the interface, transferring energy in the form of ripples or undulations on the surface. Examples of surface waves include ocean waves, seismic waves, and electromagnetic waves.
What kind of waves can travel through earth and along earths surface?
Seismic waves are the types of waves that can travel through the Earth and along its surface. There are two main types of seismic waves: body waves (such as primary and secondary waves) that travel through the Earth's interior, and surface waves (such as Love and Rayleigh waves) that travel along the Earth's surface.
