Do s-waves move side to side and do p-waves move up and down? Add your answer. Do s-waves move side to side and do p-waves move up and down? In one book it says p-waves move up and down and another it says p-waves move side to side. And also s-waves, one book says they move up and down and another side to side! so what is it? and which causes the most damage?

Transverse and Longitudinal Waves: What's the Difference? A longitudinal wave has compressions and rarefactions. Compressions are when the wave is compressed and rarefactions are when the wave is spread apart. Here let me explain... A transverse wave is a wave in which the particles of the medium move perpendicularly to the direction the wave is traveling. A transverse wave also has two main parts: crests and troughs.

A-level Physics (Advancing Physics)/What is a wave? A wave which causes disturbance in the direction of its travel is known as a longitudinal wave, whereas a wave which causes disturbance perpendicular to the direction of its travel is known as a transverse wave.

Categories of Waves While waves that travel within the depths of the ocean are longitudinal waves, the waves that travel along the surface of the oceans are referred to as surface waves. A surface wave is a wave in which particles of the medium undergo a circular motion. Surface waves are neither longitudinal nor transverse.

- Particles moving and doing work on other particles is energy and waves are how energy moves. Transverse and Longitudinal Waves. Physics is really nice to us here because, believe or not, with all the different forms of energy there are only two types of waves to remember; transverse and longitudinal.

- An S wave is slower than a P wave and only moves through solid rock. This wave moves rock up and down, or side-to-side. Because P waves are compression waves, they can move through a liquid. However, S waves cannot move through a liquid. This is because a liquid is not rigid enough to transmit an S wave.

Waves A wave is an up and down movement of water. When we talk about waves, we use special words to name their parts. The highest point of a wave is called the crest. The lowest point is called the trough. Wave height is the vertical distance between the crest and trough. Wavelength is the horizontal distance between waves in a series. Wavelength can be measured between two wave crests. It can be measured between two wave troughs.

Difference Between Longitudinal and Transverse Wave A transverse wave is a wave wherein the movement of the channel or medium is at a right angle to the wave’s direction. The particles move up and down as the wave moves horizontally. Electromagnetic waves and the secondary or S-wave in an earthquake are transverse waves.

- The second type of surface wave is known as a Rayleigh wave. Like rolling ocean waves, Rayleigh waves wave move both vertically and horizontally in a vertical plane pointed in the direction in which the waves are travelling.

- A wave in which the particles of the wave's medium move at right angles to the direction of wave movement. For instance, in an ocean wave, the molecules of water move up and down as the wave passes on its way toward shore.

Error Message: The most common cause of this error is an incorrect or corrupted pointer that references an incorrect location in memory. A pointer is a variable used by a program to refer to a block of memory. If the variable has an incorrect value in it, the program tries to access memory that it should not.

A wave is traveling through a medium. As it travels, it displaces particles of matter in the same direction as the wave is traveling. This type of wave is a A.longitudinal wave because the particles move parallel to the direction that the wave is traveling. B.transverse wave because of the way the particles are displaced as the wave passes through. C.longitudinal wave because it moves forward through a medium causing the particles to vibrate. D.transverse wave because it is not traveling in a vacuum and the particles are moving. A wave is traveling through a medium.

- Transverse waves. In transverse waves, the oscillations (vibrations) are at right angles to the direction of travel and energy transfer. Light and other types of electromagnetic radiation are transverse waves. All types of electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed through a vacuum, such as through space.Water waves and S waves (a type of seismic wave) are also transverse waves.

Physics a) waves reach a boundary of a new medium, they both change direction b) reflection-waves travel at same speed, occurs when the waves don't go through the new medium but bounce back refraction-when wave goes into new medium waves change speed.

- These are compressional or longitudinal waves that oscillate the ground back and forth along the direction of wave travel, in much the same way that sound waves (which are also compressional) move air back and forth as the waves travel from the sound source to a sound receiver.

17.1 Mechanical Waves Transverse wave - a wave that causes the medium to vibrate at right angles to the direction in which the wave travels. Longitudinal wave – a wave in which the vibration of the medium is parallel to the direction the wave travels. Surface wave - a wave that travels along a surface separating two media. Transverse waves.

- Transverse Waves. If you recall from your previous lessons, a wave is a disturbance that travels through a medium from one place to another. Waves originate from the vibrations that initially disturb the medium. They transport energy as they travel through the medium, but they don't carry any matter along with them.

Wave This article is about waves in the scientific sense. For waves on the surface of the ocean or lakes, see Wind wave. For other uses, see Wave (disambiguation). In physics, a wave is an oscillation accompanied by a transfer of energy that travels through a medium (space or mass). Frequency refers to the addition of time. Wave motion transfers energy from one point to another, which displace particles of the transmission medium–that is, with little or no associated mass transport. Waves consist, instead, of oscillations or vibrations (of a physical quantity), around almost fixed locations.

- A wave is a way in which energy travels from one place to another. There are many kinds of waves, such as water waves, sound waves, light waves, radio waves, microwaves and earthquake waves. All waves have some things in common.

- Refraction. The speed at which a wave travels is dependant upon the medium in which it travels along or through. The speed of a wave changes when a wave moves from one medium to another. This change in wave speed is accompanied by a change in wavelength and change in direction. It is this change of direction or bending of the wave as it passes from one medium to another that is called refraction.

- Longitudinal Waves. In a longitudinal wave, the motion of the medium is parallel to the direction of the wave. This means that the particles move left and right which in turn makes the other particles start to oscillate.

Glaciers The energy of the wind passes over the wave and due to friction it brings the water up with it. Once the wind has passed over or can no longer hold the water up, it drops the water. That is how the waves are caused-this up and down motion.

- Waves that travel in the rocks below the surface of the earth are called body waves, and there are two types of body waves: primary, or P, waves, and secondary, or S, waves. The S waves, also known as shearing waves, cause the most damage during earthquake shaking, as they move the ground back and forth.
