The speed at which a wave travels through a medium depends on the properties of the medium. In general, the denser the medium, the faster the wave will travel. The speed of a wave can also be influenced by factors like temperature, pressure, and elasticity of the medium.

What is the seismic wave that travels really fast?

The seismic wave that travels really fast is the primary or P-wave. P-waves are the fastest seismic waves and can travel through solids, liquids, and gases. They are the first waves recorded on seismographs during an earthquake.


What is the relationship between the speed of a longitudinal wave and the medium through which it travels?

The speed of a longitudinal wave is determined by the properties of the medium through which it travels. Different mediums have different densities and elasticities, which affect how fast the wave can travel through them. In general, the speed of a longitudinal wave increases with the stiffness and density of the medium.
