What is the difference between s and p polarized light?

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.


What is the difference between p-polarized and s-polarized light and how does it affect their interaction with surfaces?

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.


What is the difference between s polarized and p polarized light?

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.


Which is faster an s-wave or a p-wave?

P-Wave


Which type of body wave always arrives after the P-wave?

The next type of seismic wave to arrive after the P-wave is the S-wave.


Which wave the p-wave or s-wave would arrive at seismometer afer the eatrhquake?

Both, first the P wave Then the S wave.


Is surface wave faster then a p wave?

no a p wave is faster than s wave


What is S P lag time?

the difference between the arrival of the p-wave and s-wave


What is S-P lag time?

the difference between the arrival of the p-wave and s-wave


What type of waves are there?

p-wave s-wave l-wave


Does the S-Wave eventually catch up to the P-Wave?

no


Is p wave larger s wave surface wave or tsunamis?

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