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.
Transverse
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.
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.
no a p wave is faster than s 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.

surface wave
L waves are formed when P&S waves reach the 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 an incident wave.
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.
It's called a P-wave
When a wave bounces off a surface, the interaction is called "reflection."
The turning back or aside of any wave when it hits something is called a reflection.
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.
