The speed of seismic waves from fastest to slowest is P waves (primary waves), S waves (secondary waves), and then surface waves. L waves are a type of surface wave, so they are generally slower than both P and S waves.

What Are The Three types Of Waves In order By Speed?

The three types of waves in order of speed are: P-waves (Primary waves) - fastest seismic waves, travel through solid and liquid. S-waves (Secondary waves) - slower than P-waves, can only travel through solid. Surface waves - slowest seismic waves, travel along Earth's surface causing most damage during earthquakes.


What are three states of matter in order through which sound travels from fastest to slowest?

What travels through space at a speed of three hundred thousand kilometers per second?

Light travels through space at a speed of three hundred thousand kilometers per second, which is approximately 186,000 miles per second. This speed is constant in a vacuum and is the fastest speed possible in the universe according to the theory of relativity.


How many blades on a wind generator produce the fastest speed?

Wind generators with fewer blades typically produce faster speeds as they have less drag and are more efficient at capturing wind energy. However, the exact number of blades that produce the fastest speed can vary depending on the specific design and conditions of the wind turbine. Generally, turbines with either two or three blades are commonly used for their balance of speed and efficiency.


In which of the following material does sound travel the fastest?

Sound travels faster in denser objects. And iridium and osmium are the densest elements found on earth.answ2. But the speed of sound in a simple solid depends upon its 'elasticity' and its density. Beryllium has a c of around 13 km/s, but is far from the most dense metal.And in general, the speed of sound in a metal is roughly five times that of sound in air; and the speed in a liquid is about three times that of air; but both vary widely.

Is Primary wave the fastest wave?

i think so.. :/ Travel fastest through rock material causing rock particles in the rock to move back or forth


What are the three types of seismic waves according to their velocity?

Seismic waves are waves that travel through the Earth or other elastic body2 to 8 kilometersThe primary factor is the composition of the rock that the wave travels through. Secondarily, temperature tends to lower the wave speed and pressure tends to increase the wave speed.

The speed of sound, like all waves, depends on the ____ through which it travels?

Sound travels at different speeds depending on what it is traveling through. Of the three mediums (gas, liquid, and solid) sound waves travel the slowest through gases, faster through liquids, and fastest through solids. Temperature also affects the speed of sound.


What is slowest mile ran ever?

Yesterday I ran one mile in thirty minutes. Other than people who are disabled, it is my belief that is the slowest mile ever run. This speed is equivalent to three feet per second. A speed slower than this would be considered walking.
