Which of the following distinguishes electromagnetic from mechanical waves?
They don't require a medium to travel through. - apex ....what a wanker
What is the difference between sound waves and earthquake waves?
Sound waves are generated by vibrations in air or a medium and travel in all directions from the source, whereas earthquake waves are generated by the sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust and travel through the Earth. Sound waves are longitudinal waves that can travel through gases, liquids, and solids, while earthquake waves consist of P-waves (compressional waves) and S-waves (shear waves) that travel at different speeds and have different effects on the Earth's surface.
Which layers can S-waves travel through?
s-waves travel through solids only
What do shear waves travel through?
Shear waves travel through solids, such as rock and metal. These waves propagate by moving particles perpendicular to the direction of wave travel, causing a side-to-side shaking motion.
Which wave is a body wave?
Body waves are seismic waves that travel through the interior of the Earth, as opposed to surface waves that travel along the Earth's surface. There are two types of body waves: P-waves (primary waves) and S-waves (secondary waves). P-waves are faster and travel through solids, liquids, and gases, while S-waves are slower and only travel through solids.
