Waves with very low frequencies can follow the earth's surface due to a phenomenon known as ground wave propagation. These waves propagate along the surface, interacting with the terrain and following the curvature of the earth. This allows for long-distance communication at low frequencies.
What else can I help you with?
Are surface waves higher or lower frequency than body waves?
Surface waves have lower frequency than body waves. Surface waves travel along the Earth's surface and cause the ground to shake in a rolling motion, while body waves travel through the Earth's interior and can travel at higher frequencies.
Which will have more energy a high frequency waves or a low-frequency wave?
High frequency waves will have more energy than low-frequency waves. This is because energy is directly proportional to frequency in waves - the higher the frequency, the higher the energy.
How does frequency relate to wave energy?
Frequency is how close waves follow one another, usually given for one second of time. This can alos be measure in the length between successive waves. For example, a frequency of 14.5 megaHertz has a wavelength of about 20 meters. For electromagnetic waves, the relationship is simple: Energy of the photon equals the frequency of the EM wave times Planck's Constant.
What are the 3 types of electromagnetic waves that reach the earths surface?
The three types of electromagnetic waves that reach the Earth's surface are radio waves, visible light, and infrared radiation. Each of these types of waves plays a different role in our daily lives and interacts with the Earth in various ways.
How are transverse longitudinal and surface waves similar?
Transverse, longitudinal, and surface waves are all types of mechanical waves that transport energy through a medium. They all have characteristics such as amplitude, frequency, wavelength, and speed. These waves can be described by their propagation direction relative to the direction of the wave motion.
What kind of waves can travel through earth and along earths surface?
Seismic waves are the types of waves that can travel through the Earth and along its surface. There are two main types of seismic waves: body waves (such as primary and secondary waves) that travel through the Earth's interior, and surface waves (such as Love and Rayleigh waves) that travel along the Earth's surface.
Are surface waves higher or lower frequency than body waves?
Surface waves have lower frequency than body waves. Surface waves travel along the Earth's surface and cause the ground to shake in a rolling motion, while body waves travel through the Earth's interior and can travel at higher frequencies.
Which wave type is formed when the wave reach the earths surface?
L waves are formed when P&S waves reach the surface.
What are seismic waves that reach the earths surface and travel outward?
the one with the most damege is the surface wave because they are on the surface of earth. but p-waves are the second and s-waves are the third
What is the difference between primary waves and surface waves?
Primary waves (P-waves) are body waves that travel through the interior of the Earth and are the fastest seismic waves. Surface waves, on the other hand, travel along the Earth's surface and are responsible for most of the shaking and damage during an earthquake. Surface waves have larger amplitudes and longer wavelengths compared to P-waves.
Surface Waves?
waves that travels only on the surface
What is the point on earths surface where seismic waves are first felt?
This is known as the epicentre.
Which wave type is formed when the waves reach the Earths surface?
Surface waves are formed when the waves reach the Earth's surface. These waves travel along the boundary between the Earth and the atmosphere, and they can cause both lateral and vertical movements of the ground.
Shock waves that are felt on the earths surface as the result of faulting in the Earth's crust?
earthquakes :)
Which type of invisible radiation can be detected from earths surface?
Radio waves are one example.
How are sound and surface waves longitudinal waves?
Because the vibrations of both the waves travel parallel to the direction of propagation of waves. For eg: both the waves have amplitude, frequency etc.
Why are surface waves more detructive to buildings tan p waves or s waves are?
Because of their low frequency, long duration, and large amplitude
