What is a wave of energy that travels through the earth away from an earthquake in all directions?

A seismic wave is a wave of energy that travels through the Earth's layers away from an earthquake in all directions. There are two main types of seismic waves: P-waves (primary waves) and S-waves (secondary waves), with P-waves being faster and able to travel through both solid and liquid layers of the Earth.


True or false radiation travels out in all directions from its source?

True. Radiation is energy that moves in the form of waves or particles and travels outward in all directions from its source.


Is the speed of a physics wave influenced by the type of matter it travels through?

Generally , all waves that are studied in physics are affected by the type of matter they travel thru.


Energy that travels by waves in all directions from its source is called?

Radiation


What type of wave do you create when you throw a stone into a lake?

When you throw a stone into a lake, you create a circular wave known as a ripple. This ripple expands outward in all directions from the point where the stone entered the water.


How sound travels away from the source?

Sound travels away from the source in waves, propagating through a medium such as air, water, or a solid material by causing particles to vibrate. As the particles vibrate, they transfer energy to neighboring particles, thus transmitting the sound wave outward. The sound wave will continue to travel until it loses energy and eventually dissipates.


What is Energy that travels in waves in all directions?

Electromagnetic radiation is energy that travels in waves in all directions. It includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays.


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.


What type of seismic wave arrives after an earthquake?

A seismic wave travels through the Earth's layers, after a volcano, explosion, or earthquake. Transverse, compressional, longitude, and shear waves are all types of seismic waves after earthquakes.


How light travels on its sources?

Light travels in straight lines away from its source in all directions. When a light source emits photons, they move through the surrounding space or medium at the speed of light until they are absorbed or reflected by a surface. The behavior of light can be explained by both wave and particle theories, known as wave-particle duality.


How can seismic wave be used to help scientist's know what type of material each layer of the earth is made of?

A+ answer: all waves change directions as they travel through different materials
