P-wave detectors are generally considered useless during seismic events where the P-wave is not the first wave to arrive, such as in cases of underground explosions or when the seismic source is too close to the detector, leading to a lack of sufficient warning time. They also become ineffective in areas with complex geological structures that can distort seismic wave propagation. Additionally, in scenarios with low-energy events or when the signal-to-noise ratio is poor, P-wave detectors may fail to provide reliable readings.
What else can I help you with?
Is surface wave faster then a p wave?
no a p wave is faster than s wave
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.
What is a p wave?
A P wave is a type of seismic wave generated by an earthquake that travels the fastest through the Earth's layers. It is the first wave to arrive at a seismograph station and is known as a compressional wave because it pushes and pulls the rock particles as it moves.
What directions do the particles of a p wave move?
P-wave particles move in the same direction as the wave's propagation, which is the direction of energy transfer. This movement is back and forth in the direction of the wave.
What is the first wave of an ECG?
I believe it is the P Wave. A good way to remember is all of the Waves are in alphabetical order. P Wave, Q-R-S Waves and the T Wave
Which is faster an s-wave or a p-wave?
P-Wave
Is surface wave faster then a p wave?
no a p wave is faster than s wave
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.
Which wave the p-wave or s-wave would arrive at seismometer afer the eatrhquake?
Both, first the P wave Then the S wave.
What type of seismic wave that compresses and expands the ground?
Longitudinal Waves
Is a P-wave a seismic wave?
Yes. P-waves are known as primary waves and are a compressional or longitudinal wave.
What is the fasts wave?
They call it the Primary wave or a P-wave
What year were smoke detectors invented?
Smoke detectors were invented in the year 1967. :P
Which body waves is a longitudinal wave?
The primary body wave that is a longitudinal wave is the P wave. P waves are compressional waves that travel through solid and liquid materials by causing particles to move in the same direction of wave propagation.
Which body wave is a longitudinal wave?
The primary body wave that is a longitudinal wave is the P-wave (primary wave). It is the fastest seismic wave and travels through the Earth's interior by compressing and expanding the rock in the direction of the wave's propagation.
What type of waves are there?
p-wave s-wave l-wave
What is the fastest type of siesmic wave?
Primary Wave (P wave)
