Waves Vibrations and Oscillations

Earthquakes can produce a variety of sounds before the main shock wave, such as rumbling, cracking, or grinding noises. These sounds can be caused by the movement of rocks along fault lines underground or the shifting of the earth's crust. It's important to note that not all earthquakes produce audible sounds before the main shock wave.

In a way, yes, as the pitch of a sound wave is determined by it's frequency f, and a waves period T is the reciprocal of f. i.e. T=1/f

water waves are the movement of water bodies in respond to disturbances which may include a moving boat, a fallen pebble, or movement in the direction of the wind. while seismic waves are vibration generated by earthquake explosion or similar energetic source and propagated within the earth interior or along its surface.

Body waves: seismic waves that travel through the body of a medium Surface waves: seismic waves that travel along the surface of a medium and have a strong effect near the surface of the medium than it has in the interior

Surface waves generally cause the most damage during an earthquake as they travel along the Earth's surface and can produce strong shaking. In contrast, P-waves (primary waves) cause the least damage as they are the fastest seismic waves and are typically not as destructive as the slower-moving surface waves.

James Maxwell was able to show that a vibrating charge would result in the propagation of an electromagnetic wave that would travel with velocity that "just happened" to be the speed of light. Since that time, repeated tests have shown that every prediction resulting from the idea that radio waves, light waves, and x-rays (amongst others) are examples of this EM wave have turned out to be correct.

Light is considered to be an EM wave because every test of that statement has given a positive answer.

That is, until, quantum theorists were able to show that light travels in discrete chunks of energy now called "photons."

The longest one does.

If you're talking about visible light, then it's the last color you can see

on the red end.

If you're talking about the electromagnetic spectrum in general, then

there's no such thing as the "lowest" frequency.

To map body tissues, MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) uses a combination of techniques: a powerful magnetic field, and radio waves. Radio waves are utilized for mapping because they will not damage the body tissue.

No difference at all. Radio waves are one of many types of electromagnetic waves.

That is a great question! Something that can occur on a steep slop during an earthquake is that it can trigger massive land slides, which is pretty much just moving land, a land slide is pretty much like a mud slide!

Electromagnetic Waves do not require a medium, or matter to move through, to transfer waves. This includes radiowaves, microwaves, infared waves, visible light waves, Ultraviolet waves, X-rays, and gamma rays.

Any charged particle has an electric field surrounding it. If it oscillates, the electric field will continuously change, resulting in the production of a magnetic field, which is in phase with the electric field. But these two fields are perpendicular to each other. These two "oscillating fields" come together to form electromagnetic waves.

. . . wavelengths between roughly 380 and 750 nanometers.

When the frequency of a wave passing through a uniform medium increases, its wavelength decreases. This is because the speed of the wave remains constant in the medium, so an increase in frequency results in shorter wavelengths to maintain the same wave speed.

Pitch is the quality determined by the speed of vibration of sound waves. Faster vibrations result in higher pitch, while slower vibrations result in lower pitch.

L waves, also known as Love waves, are a type of surface wave that move in a horizontal, side-to-side motion. They travel along the Earth's outer layer and can cause significant shaking and damage during earthquakes due to their long wavelengths and high amplitudes. L waves move slower than P and S waves but are responsible for the most long-lasting and destructive effects of an earthquake.

Similarities: Both sound waves and water waves require a medium (air for sound waves, water for water waves) to propagate. They both travel in a wave-like motion, transferring energy without the physical movement of the medium.

Differences: Sound waves are longitudinal waves that move through compression and rarefaction of molecules in the medium, while water waves are transverse waves that move through the oscillation of water particles. Sound waves propagate through air or solids, while water waves propagate through liquids.

Vesuvius is a volcano that is prone to frequent eruptions, so for the people of Pompey eruptions were not unusual. However the eruption that destroyed the city happened to be significantly larger than what they were used to. At that time there was little actually known about volcanoes and what they are capable of, so the people of Pompey had no reason to believe they were in any danger.

These waves are called secondary waves, or S-waves. They travel at slower speeds than primary waves and move the ground side-to-side, causing shaking and structural damage to buildings. S-waves are more destructive than P-waves and are usually felt after the initial P-wave motion during an earthquake.

A seismic wave is a wave of energy that travels through the Earth after an earthquake occurs. These waves are responsible for the shaking and vibrations felt during an earthquake. Scientists use the study of seismic waves to understand the properties of the Earth's interior and to locate the epicenter of an earthquake.

seismic wave are earthquake waves the types are l - waves, p - waves and s- waves they are recorded by seismograph or also called seismograph they form by explosion's, earthquakes and movement (waves) underground.

It is unlikely for loud sounds from traffic to break glass objects inside a school unless the glass is already compromised or the sound is extremely loud and very close to the glass. Glass is typically designed to withstand common noise levels found in urban environments.

Double refraction is when you can see through a mineral and it shows two images instead of one.

Calite is the mineral that exhibits it.

I linked a great website for this kind of stuff below.

Telescopes can be designed to detect various wavelengths and frequencies of light, not just visible light. Different types of telescopes, such as radio telescopes and X-ray telescopes, are specialized to observe different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum beyond visible light. By focusing on specific wavelengths and frequencies, telescopes can provide valuable information about celestial objects and phenomena.
