- There are several types of seismic waves. Body waves move through the inside of the Earth. There are two types of body waves: Primary waves (or P waves) are the fastest moving waves, traveling at 1 to 5 miles per second (1.6 to 8 kilometers per second). They can pass through solids, liquids and gases easily.

Sound Waves and the Eardrum Sound Waves and the Eardrum. A sound wave traveling through a fluid medium (such as a liquid or a gaseous material) has a longitudinal nature. This means that the particles of the medium vibrate in direction which is parallel (and anti-parallel) to the direction which the sound wave travels. If the sound wave travels from west to east, then the particles of the medium vibrate back and forth along the east-west axis.

- Mechanical waves are waves that require a medium. This means that they have to have some sort of matter to travel through. These waves travel when molecules in the medium collide with each other passing on energy. One example of a mechanical wave is sound. Sound can travel through air, water, or solids, but it can't travel through a vacuum. It needs the medium to help it travel. Other examples include water waves, seismic waves, and waves traveling through a spring.

Which seismic wave travels fastest? Mar 20, 2016. Primary waves. Unlike the other seismic waves, Primary waves move through solids liquids. They are also the fastest type of wave, however, due to their lower amplitude, they are the least destructive. Secondary waves are the second fastest, second most destructive and have the second highest amplitude but only travel through solids. Surface waves are the slowest, most destructive and have the highest amplitude. They travel along the surface of the planet between two different mediums (e.g. rock and air).

- Sound waves travel through air in much the same way as water waves travel through water. In fact, since water waves are easy to see and understand, they are often used as an analogy to illustrate how sound waves behave.Sound waves can also be shown in a standard x vs y graph, as shown here.his knowledge will form the foundation of everything you do in the field of audio. Sound waves exist as variations of pressure in a medium such as air. They are created by the vibration of an object, which causes the air surrounding it to vibrate.

- Sound can travel through anything made of molecules-even water! There is no sound in space because there are no molecules there to transmit the sound waves. Electromagnetic waves are different from sound waves because they do not need molecules to travel. This means that electromagnetic waves can travel through air and solid materials-but they can also travel through empty space. This is why astronauts on spacewalks use radios to communicate.

Categories of Waves Waves traveling through a solid medium can be either transverse waves or longitudinal waves. Yet waves traveling through the bulk of a fluid (such as a liquid or a gas) are always longitudinal waves. Transverse waves require a relatively rigid medium in order to transmit their energy.linky waves, water waves, stadium waves, and jump rope waves are other examples of mechanical waves; each requires some medium in order to exist. A slinky wave requires the coils of the slinky; a water wave requires water; a stadium wave requires fans in a stadium; and a jump rope wave requires a jump rope.

Can smells travel through liquids? They certainly can, just as they can travel through solids like plastic packaging. The two main differences between the movement of aroma molecules in air and their movement in liquids or solids are the concentration of the molecules and the speed at which they can travel through the medium. In water, the concentration can be extremely low because many aroma molecules have only minimal solubility in water.

- Transverse waves include waves on a string, electromagnetic waves, and seismic S waves. These are waves in which the particles in the medium move in a direction perpendicular to the path of the wave. Transverse waves travel well in solids, but not in fluids like liquid or gas.ongitudinal Waves. But not all waves are transverse waves. Sometimes, the wave medium oscillates parallel to the wave's direction. In these cases, the wave is called a longitudinal wave. Longitudinal waves are a bit challenging to imagine, so let's use a slinky for reference.

Ch 12 & 13 Physics Speed of sound depends on the medium. Sound waves can travel through solids, liquids, and gases. Because waves consist of particle vibrations, the speed of a wave depends on how quickly one particle can transfer its motion to another particle. The speed of sound also depends on the temperature of the medium. As temperature rises, the particles of a gas collide more frequently. Define the Doppler Effect.

- Both the waves in the flag and the ocean waves are waves that you can see. There are other kinds of waves. We cannot see these waves, but we experience them every day. These waves are called electromagnetic waves. Sound is also a type of wave that we cannot see. Like ocean waves, sound waves something to travel through like waves through the ocean or through a flag. Sound can travel through air because air is made of molecules. These molecules carry the sound waves by bumping into each other, like dominoes knocking each other over.

How do radio waves pass through solid objects? Light and other electromagnetic waves pass through solid objects by exciting the electronic structure. This structure and the energy/frequency of the light determines the behavior of the wave (scattering/reflection, absorption, or some combination of both).

Why can't transverse waves travel through a liquid? To answer your question, first let's see how transverse waves or S-Waves propagate, so in simple terms we can state that, S-Waves or transverse are shear waves, whose particles move perpendicularly to their direction of propagation. Now, let's see why can they propagate through solids.

What are the similarities and differences between mechanical waves and electromagnetic waves? (This includes visible light, radio waves, gamma rays, x-rays, ultraviolet rays, infra-red waves, and microwaves.) They both are able to travel through a medium of gas, liquid, or solid. Also, electromagnetic waves have the weird quantum property of sometimes acting like waves, and sometimes acting like particles.

- The various properties of electromagnetic waves and sound waves are described below. Sound waves are mechanical waves generated from vibrations within a medium. Sound can exist as longitudinal mechanical waves, which are also known as compression waves. These waves can travel through solid, liquid, gas or plasma media. Sound waves require a medium to travel.

Physics for Kids Sound can travel through air, water, or solids, but it can't travel through a vacuum. It needs the medium to help it travel. Other examples include water waves, seismic waves, and waves traveling through a spring. Electromagnetic waves are waves that can travel through a vacuum (empty space). They don't need a medium or matter. They travel through electrical and magnetic fields that are generated by charged particles. Examples of electromagnetic waves include light, microwaves, radio waves, and X-rays.

Seismic wave Depending on the propagational direction, the wave can take on different surface characteristics; for example, in the case of horizontally polarized S waves, the ground moves alternately to one side and then the other. S-waves can travel only through solids, as fluids (liquids and gases) do not support shear stresses.

What are the three types of Earthquake Waves? In these waves each particle vibrates to and fro in the direction of propagation. P waves pass through gases, liquids and solids in the same manner. These waves travel outward from the point of disturbance in all directions in Straight lines. They are the fastest of all earthquake waves.

What are waves in earthquakes that can travel through solids liquids and gases? P-waves can pass through liquids,solids,and gases. A P-wave is a type of body wave that has an up and down motion. Another type of body wave is the S-wave. S-waves CAN'T pass through liquids but they can pass through solids and gases. I hope that answered your question.
