What do you call the bouncing of a waves from the surface?
reflectionWhen a wave bounces off a surface, it is said to have been reflected and the wave is called a reflection.reflectionWhen a wave bounces off a surface, it is said to have been reflected and the wave is called a reflection.
What Longitudinal wave that is first to reach the location of an earthquake?
Transverse
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.
What is a seismic wave that travels along the earth's surface?
A seismic wave that travels along the Earth's surface is called a surface wave. These waves tend to cause the most damage during an earthquake because they have a longer wavelength and higher amplitudes compared to other types of seismic waves like body waves.
Is surface wave faster then a p wave?
no a p wave is faster than s wave
Distinguish between a primary wave and a secondary wave?
A primary wave is a strong vibration or wave that hits earths surface (P) and a secondary wave (S) is a wave that hits soon after but not nearly as big.
Which type of seismic wave travels on top of Earths surface?
A Surface Wave.
What type of waves are primary waves?
A primary wave is a strong vibration or wave that hits earths surface (P) and a secondary wave (S) is a wave that hits soon after but not nearly as big.
What is a small wave called?
surface wave
Which wave type is formed when the wave reach the earths surface?
L waves are formed when P&S waves reach the surface.
What happens to a wave when it hits a surface?
When a wave hits a surface, it can be absorbed, reflected, or transmitted through the surface. The type of interaction depends on the properties of the surface and the wave itself. If the surface is smooth, the wave is more likely to be reflected; if the surface is rough, the wave might be absorbed or scattered in multiple directions.
When a wave is coming toward a surface it is called a what?
When a wave is coming toward a surface, it is called an incident wave.
What is a sound reflecting off a surface or other material?
When a sound wave hits a surface, it may bounce back rather than pass through it. This bouncing of sound waves off a surface is called sound reflection. The angle at which the sound wave hits the surface affects how it reflects.
What is a body wave that doesn't penetrate earths core?
It's called a P-wave
When a wave bounces off a surface the interaction is called?
When a wave bounces off a surface, the interaction is called "reflection."
What is the turning back or turning aside of any wave when it hits an obstacle?
The turning back or aside of any wave when it hits something is called a reflection.
What is it called when a wave's energy is lost to a surface making the wave weaker?
When a wave's energy is lost to a surface, resulting in the wave becoming weaker, it is called wave absorption or wave attenuation. This can occur when the wave interacts with the surface material and causes it to dissipate or absorb the energy of the wave.
