How do you know waves transfer energy in the direction of the travel of wave?
seismic waves travel in all directions. the reason we know is because of earthquakes.
What are three ways waves change direction?
Reflection, Refraction, Diffraction
How do p waves travel?
Every direction radiating from the source. However when they enter air they cannot proceed further and when they enter liquids (e.g. water, the molten nickel-iron outer core) only the p-waves can proceed further. The direction of travel also changes over distance from the source due to refraction and/or reflection.
What type of waves move through earth by causing particles of rocks to move at right angles to the direction of the waves?
A secondary wave causes rocks to vibrate at 90 degrees. This earthquake wave can travel through solids but not through liquids, and causes rock particles to vibrate at right angles to the direction of wave travel.
What are the example of longitudinal waves?
Longitudinal waves are waves that have vibrations along or parallel to their direction of travel. Examples of longitudinal waves are sound waves, waves in a slink, tsunami waves, vibrations in gases, oscillations in springs, internal-water waves, ultra sounds, earthquake P-waves.
When light waves slow down do they change direction?
When light waves slow down as they travel from one medium to another, such as from air to glass, they do change direction. This change in direction is called refraction and occurs due to the change in speed of the light waves in the new medium.
What is The bending of light waves as they travel from one surface to another?
Refraction is the bending of light waves as they travel from one transparent medium to another, such as air to water or glass. This change in the speed of light causes the light waves to change direction at the surface between the two media.
What change speed and direction depending on the density and materiel they travel through?
Waves.
What cause earthquake waves to change direction as they travel through Earth?
by their boundaries
Electromagnetic waves slow down or change direction?
Electromagnetic waves do not slow down in a vacuum. However, they can change direction when they encounter different mediums, such as transitioning from air to glass. This change in direction is known as refraction.
What type of waves move across the direction of travel?
Transverse waves will move across the direction of travel.
The change in direction of waves when the wave travels from air to glass is what?
The waves are refracted towards the normal (ie towards the line perpendicular to the surface).
What happens to the path of waves when they travel from air to water, and why does this change occur?
When waves travel from air to water, they change direction and speed. This change occurs because the speed of waves is determined by the medium they are traveling through, and water is denser than air, causing the waves to slow down and bend.
Waves that compress and expand in the direction that the waves travel?
Longitudinal waves.
Why do waves change direction as they enter or leave a lens?
Waves change direction as they enter or leave a lens due to refraction, which is the bending of light as it passes through a medium with a different optical density. This bending occurs because light waves travel at different speeds in different mediums, causing them to change direction at the interface.
How do you expect the light wave to travel differently?
Light waves can travel through different mediums, such as air, water, and glass. The speed and direction of light waves can change depending on the medium they are traveling through due to factors like refraction and reflection. The wavelength and frequency of light waves remain constant regardless of the medium they are traveling through.
In which direction do ocean waves travel in an up and down motion?
Ocean waves travel in an up and down motion in a vertical direction.
