Gamma rays can penetrate three meters of concrete due to their high energy levels. This makes them useful in various applications such as medical imaging and radiation therapy.
The wave base is typically half the wavelength, so for a wave that is 200 meters long, the wave base would be around 100 meters deep. This is the depth in the ocean at which water motion from a wave is negligible.
An electromagnetic wave with a wavelength of 10^(-12) meters falls in the gamma-ray region of the electromagnetic spectrum. Gamma rays have very short wavelengths and high frequencies, making them high-energy radiation that can penetrate deeply into materials.
A wave typically breaks when its wave base reaches the depth of half its wavelength. Therefore, for a wave with a wavelength of 3 meters, it would break when the water depth is approximately 1.5 meters. The distance from the shore at which this occurs depends on the slope of the seafloor.
Generally, a wave will start breaking when the water depth is about 1.3 times the wave height. So, in water that is 7.8 meters deep, a wave would likely start breaking around 6 meters in height.
Wave speed = (frequency) x (wavelength) = (50) x (20) = 1,000 meters.

It's called a P-wave
A body wave that does not penetrate the Earth's core is a compressional wave or P-wave. P-waves travel through the Earth by compressing and expanding the material they pass through, but they do not travel through the outer core because the outer core is liquid.
A seismic body wave that can penetrate the Earth's core is called a P wave (Primary wave). P waves are the fastest seismic waves and they can travel through both solid and liquid layers of the Earth, including the core.
s waves
Body earthquake waves that can penetrate the Earth's core are known as primary waves, or P-waves. They are the fastest seismic waves and can travel through both solid and liquid materials, including the Earth's inner core.
The wave base is typically half the wavelength, so for a wave that is 200 meters long, the wave base would be around 100 meters deep. This is the depth in the ocean at which water motion from a wave is negligible.
not a shore
These waves are known as p-waves.
An X-ray.
You get a speed. If the 'Hertz' is the frequency of a particular wave, and the 'meters' is the wavelength of the same wave, then their product is the speed of that wave.
