What is a L wave?
An L wave, also known as a Love wave, is a type of surface wave that travels along the boundary between two different media, such as the Earth's crust and mantle. It causes the ground to move in a horizontal, side-to-side motion. L waves are the slowest seismic waves and are responsible for the long, rolling motion felt during earthquakes.
Do Compressional waves move back and forth at a right angle to the direction that the waves travel?

What is the formula for wave steepness?
The formula for wave steepness is given as H/L, where H is the wave height and L is the wavelength. This ratio provides a measure of how steep or gradual a wave is as it approaches the shore.
Formular of wave length?
Wavelength lambda is equated to the ratio of the speed of the wave to the frequency of the wave. So L = c / f Here L the wavelength, c the speed of the wave and f the frequency of the wave
What does the wavelength of a wave measures?
The width of the wave. The wavelength is the distance (in the direction of the wave's propagation) between the top of a wave crest to the top of the next wave crest. The wavelength is the frequency divided by the velocity of the wave. v=f/l l=f/v
What type of waves are there?
p-wave s-wave l-wave
Which wave type is formed when the wave reach the earths surface?
L waves are formed when P&S waves reach the surface.
What type of seismic wave is most damaging to structures?
L Waves (Love Waves)
What does the L in l-waves stand for?
l waves are the slowest our waves . They are also called "Long Waves" . They travel along the surface of the Earth . They are the ones that people notice the most .
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.
What type of seismic wave that compresses and expands the ground?
Longitudinal Waves
What type of wave moves the fastest?
Light wave travels fastest in air Sound wave travels fastest in solid or liquid

What does the L stand for in L wave?
I can tell you the answer but I want it to be hard
What waves carry more energy than other waves if the amplitudes of waves are equal?
In general, higher frequency waves carry more energy than waves of lower frequency if their amplitudes are equal. This is absolutely true of electromagnetic waves, and can probably be most easily demonstrated there.
