P-waves are type of elastic wave, also called seismic waves, that can travel through gases (such as sounds), elastic solids and liquids, including the Earth. P-waves can be produced by earthquakes and recorded by seismometers. The name P-wave stands for primary wave, as the P-wave is the fastest among the elastic waves, compared to the S-waves.
(Sources Wikipedia). Hope that helps! :D
What else can I help you with?
In the diffusion of liquids through agar what characteristic of liquid determines the rate at which it will travel through the agar?
The size of the molecules.
What does sound need to travel through?
Sound (and vibration) are a wave system of sequential compressions and rarefactions of a material. These waves are mechanical and do need a substance through which to travel. They cannot travel through a vacuum.
What layer of earth will waves travel through faster?
The mantle of course.....because sound waves travel through liquid like surfaces better than solid rock.
Sound travels through the air or water or solids by?
sound can travel in all three media(solids liquid and gas)and travels fastest through solids.
What are the three mediums waves can travel through?
Oh, waves are like happy little messengers of nature, spreading joy wherever they go. They can travel through three main mediums: solid, liquid, and gas. Whether it's the gentle ripples on a pond, the soothing sounds of the ocean, or the whisper of wind through the trees, waves always find a way to express themselves.
Can a p wave travel through gas?
Yes, a P-wave can travel through gas. P-waves are seismic waves that are the fastest and can travel through solids, liquids, and gases. They compress and expand the material they travel through, which allows them to propagate through gases as well.
Light travel faster through solid or liquid?
liquid
Why can't s waves travel through earth?
S waves cannot travel through liquid. The Earth's core is liquid.
Why can't S-wave travel through earth's core?
S waves cannot travel through liquid. The Earth's core is liquid.
Does sound travel more quickly through a liquid or a solid?
A liquid
What three things travel through the pharynx?
Air, food, and liquid travel through the pharynx.
What does convection travel through?
Gas or liquid
Would a seismic wave travel faster through a solid or a liquid?
liquid
What body wave can't move through the liquid outer core?
S waves cannot travel through the outer core because they can only travel through solids, and the outer core is liquid.
What does food liquid and air all travel through?
The oropharynx
Dose a primary wave travel through soilids and liquids?
Primary waves can travel through liquid and solids at certain speeds but some quakes can not travel through water.
Which seismic wave can go through both solid and liquid?
Primary waves (P-waves) are the seismic waves that can travel through both solid and liquid materials. They are the fastest seismic waves and can travel through the Earth's interior, passing through both solid and liquid layers.
