P polarized waves have electric field the plane of incedence while
S polarized waves have electric field which is perpendicular to the plane of incidence
The next type of seismic wave to arrive after the P-wave is the S-wave.
no a p wave is faster than s wave
To determine the P-S interval on a seismogram, first identify the arrival times of the P-waves and S-waves. The P-wave is the first seismic wave to arrive, so locate its initial peak on the seismogram. Next, find the point where the S-wave arrives, which is characterized by a distinct increase in amplitude following the P-wave. The time difference between the two arrivals, known as the P-S interval, can then be calculated by subtracting the P-wave arrival time from the S-wave arrival time.
When a P wave and an S wave combine, they can create a new type of seismic wave called a surface wave. Surface waves travel along the Earth's surface and can cause the most damage during an earthquake due to their slower speed and larger amplitudes compared to P and S waves.
P=wave is short for pressure wave. S-wave is short for shear wave. This should suggest a possible reason they behave differently in the (molten) outer core.
S and p polarized light refer to the orientation of the electric field in a light wave. S polarized light has the electric field perpendicular to the surface it is reflecting off of, while p polarized light has the electric field parallel to the surface. This difference affects how the light interacts with surfaces and materials.
P-polarized light vibrates parallel to the surface, while s-polarized light vibrates perpendicular to the surface. This difference affects how they interact with surfaces, as p-polarized light is more likely to be reflected, while s-polarized light is more likely to be transmitted or absorbed by the surface.
S polarized light has its electric field oscillating perpendicular to the plane of incidence, while p polarized light has its electric field oscillating parallel to the plane of incidence.

Both, first the P wave Then the S wave.

Neither. P and S waves are body waves. Tsunamis are a different matter entirely.
