If a wave moves from one side of the lake to the other does the water move across the lake?
Waves travel through water, but they do not carry the water with them.
What are the similarities between ripples in water and electromagnetic waves?
The basic similarities between light and sound include the idea that both move in waves. They have frequency, or wavelength (as they are inverses of each other). They also have speeds of propagation that vary according to the materials through which are propagating.
Which three factors determine how high the waves in a place will be?
the lenght of the waves , strenght of the waves and the duration o the high waves determine how high the waves in a place will be
What are similarities between S-waves P-waves and surface waves?
they start at a earthquake.
When is the best time to go surfing in Carmel?
You didn't say if you want the biggest waves or the best beach life. After winter storms brings the best waves. Anytime of the year the water is too cold to go without a wetsuit, so be prepared.
When a tsunami occurs does it travel in circles?
Sort of, if you throw a stone into water, the ripples spread out as waves form the point where the stone splashed into the water. It is the same with Tsunami waves they spread out from their point (or line) of origin and cross the oceans.
Does the earth shake in the earthquake?
yes,the shock waves spread in all directions like when we throw a stone in a pool of water,as the shock waves goes further the power of the shock decreases
How are electromagnetic waves similar to water waves?
They start from the middle, and spread out equally.
Are earthquake waves different from the concentric rings of waves when you throw a stone in the water?
Yes the two waves are different.
If a rock is dropped in water and waves spread over the flat surface of the water What becomes of the energy in these waves when they die out?
It ultimately turns into heat.
How is a change in an ecosystem like a ripple after a stone is thrown into a pond?
When a stone is thrown in a pond we have noticed that many small waves of water are formed which moves away from the point where the stone hits the water
How waves travels?
By rippling thru the media... like the ripple on the water when stone is thrown into it.
When a stone is thown in the calm water of a pond the waves produced on the surface of water in the pond are?
Ripples i believe you are looking for
How are sound waves and water waves?
Two main ways. First water waves are essentially two dimensional, i.e. on the surface of water, and sound waves are three dimensional - they (generally) spread out in all directions from the source of the sound. Second water waves are up and down undulations in the water, and are therefore at right angles to the direction of motion (transverse waves). Sound waves are compressions and rarefactions in the same direction as the direction of motion (longitudinal waves).
How do the waves and rocks affect each other?
they would make a hard stone and there would be blockage in the water
What form will waves have if stone is tossed into smoothly flowing water.?
The same circles will form and travel downstream
How do waves and rocks affect each other?
they would make a hard stone and there would be blockage in the water
