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.
Is surface wave faster then a p wave?
no a p wave is faster than s wave
Which factors increase seismic wave speed?
epicenter. focus. magnitude. and density
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.
it is a kind of seismic wave that travels fast and increases its speed with depth?
The seismic wave you are referring to is a P-wave, or primary wave. P-waves are compressional waves that can travel through solids, liquids, and gases, and they are the fastest type of seismic wave, typically increasing in speed as they move deeper into the Earth due to higher pressure and density. Their ability to propagate through various materials makes them essential for understanding the Earth's internal structure and for seismic exploration.
What wave is expected to have the greatest wave speed?
A P-wave (primary wave) is expected to have the greatest wave speed among seismic waves, traveling through solids, liquids, and gases. P-waves are compressional waves that can travel through the Earth's interior with the highest velocity compared to other types of seismic waves.
What is the P-wave velocity formula used to calculate the speed of seismic waves traveling through a medium?
The formula to calculate the speed of seismic waves, known as the P-wave velocity, is V D / T, where V is the velocity, D is the distance traveled by the wave, and T is the time it takes for the wave to travel that distance.
If The wavelength of a wave is multiplied by the frequency of the wave is the wave's?
The last bit of your question confused me a little!? :P ... But I think you are referring to the 'The Wave Equation'. Wave Speed (v) in m/s = Frequency (f) in Hz * Wave Length (λ) in m This equation relates the speed of a wave to its frequency and wavelength
What is ther kind of seismic wave that travels fast and increase its speed with depth?
The seismic wave that travels fast and increases its speed with depth is called a primary or P-wave. P-waves are compressional waves that can travel through solids, liquids, and gases, and they are the fastest seismic waves.
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.
Which is faster an s-wave or a p-wave?
P-Wave
Which type of wave travels the fastest?
Electromagnetic waves travel the fastest, at the speed of light in a vacuum, 3.0 x 108 m/s.
Approximately how far is an observer from and earthquake epicenter if he or she observed a p wave 8 minutes after the earthquake?
Based on the average speed of a P-wave (6 km/s), if the observer detected the P-wave 8 minutes after the earthquake, they would be approximately 2880 km away from the epicenter. This calculation assumes the P-wave travelled directly through the Earth without any barriers altering its speed.
Is surface wave faster then a p wave?
no a p wave is faster than s wave
Which factors increase seismic wave speed?
epicenter. focus. magnitude. and density
What kind of wave is speed?
Speed is not a wave.
What do you need to figure out wave speed?
To determine wave speed, you need to know the wavelength of the wave and the frequency of the wave. The formula for calculating wave speed is: speed = frequency × wavelength.
