it is when a part of a tsunami i bounced back in the direction it came and grows in size. it is usually between one tenth and one thousandth of the power of the original wave.

An s-wave shadow zone is formed as seismic waves travel through the Earth's body. Which of the following statements does this s-wave shadow zone indicate?


What did studies of the p-wave and s-wave shadows reveal about earths interior?

Studies of p-wave and s-wave shadows, resulting from seismic waves generated by earthquakes, have revealed critical information about Earth's interior. P-waves, or primary waves, can travel through both solids and liquids, while s-waves, or secondary waves, can only travel through solids. The presence of an s-wave shadow zone indicates that a liquid outer core exists, as s-waves do not pass through this region, while the p-wave shadow zone suggests the complexity of the Earth's interior structure. Together, these findings helped establish the layered model of Earth's interior, including the solid mantle, liquid outer core, and solid inner core.


What is the p wave shadow zone?

The P-wave shadow zone is an area on the Earth's surface where seismic P-waves (primary waves) do not arrive after an earthquake. This phenomenon occurs because P-waves can travel through both solid and liquid, but they are refracted (bent) when they pass through the Earth's liquid outer core. As a result, there is a zone, roughly between 104° and 140° from the earthquake's epicenter, where no P-waves are detected, indicating the presence of the liquid outer core. This shadow zone provides crucial evidence for understanding the Earth's internal structure.


Why do cathode rays produce sharp shadow of object placed in their path?

Cathode rays produce a sharp shadow of an object because they travel in straight lines and can only pass through openings in obstacles. When an object is placed in the path of cathode rays, the rays are blocked by the object, creating a distinct shadow where the rays are unable to pass through. This phenomenon is due to the wave-particle duality of cathode rays.


What are some an example of electromagnetic wave electromagnetic spectrum transparent opaque shadow umbra penumbra solar eclipse lunar eclipse in real life?

Electromagnetic waves: sunlight, microwave oven radiation. Electromagnetic spectrum: visible light, infrared radiation. Transparent: glass, clear plastic. Opaque: metal, wood. Shadow: created when an object blocks light from a source. Umbra: the darkest part of a shadow. Penumbra: the lighter part of a shadow around the umbra. Solar eclipse: occurs when the moon passes between the sun and Earth, casting a shadow on Earth. Lunar eclipse: occurs when Earth passes between the sun and the moon, casting a shadow on the moon.
