Which type of body wave always arrives after the P-wave?
The S-wave, or secondary wave, always arrives after the P-wave. S-waves are slower than P-waves and are the second wave to arrive during an earthquake.
Is surface wave faster then a p wave?
no a p wave is faster than s wave
Which type of wave is a secondary wave?
Any wave has two directions: the up and down direction (primary wave) and the side to side direction (secondary wave).
What can a standing wave tell you about a wave?
A standing wave can tell you about the resonant frequencies of a system. It is formed when a wave reflects back on itself and interferes constructively or destructively. The nodes and antinodes of a standing wave provide information about the wavelength and frequency of the wave.
An example of a purely longitudinal wave is a?
Sound wave is an example of a purely longitudinal wave. In a sound wave, the particles of the medium vibrate in the same direction as the wave is moving, creating compressions and rarefactions as the wave travels through the medium.
