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.
Is surface wave faster then a p wave?
no a p wave is faster than s wave
How do you determine an p-s interval on a seismogram?
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.
What will happen if a P wave and an S wave combine?
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.
Why cant s-waves travel through the core and p-waves can?
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.
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.
