Can Fluids transmit P waves?
Yes, P (longitudinal) waves can travel through solid, liquid, and gaseous mediums.
Will seismic wave traveling through a solid go faster or slower than a seismic wave traveling through liquid why or why not?
why can s-wave can't travel but p-waves can
Will a seismic wave go faster through a liquid or a solid?
Solid, because that kind of wave goes fastest through solids
What type of waves is produced during an earthquake?
Seismic waves consist ofP waves which travel through the Earth fast. They compress the medium they travel through;S waves which also travel through the Earth, shearing the solid Earth as they go. S waves do not travel through liquid;Surface waves which can cause the Earth to undulate like water waves or surface waves that cause the Earth to shear.
Do S waves travel through earth's inner core?
While S waves (shear waves) can travel through earth's solid inner core, they cannot travel through earth's liquid outer core, which surrounds the inner core.So, unless the S waves originated inside the inner core (which seems unlikely) there are no S waves traveling through earth's inner core.
Light travel faster through solid or liquid?
liquid
Does light travel faster through liquid or solid?
liquid
Will sound travel fastest through a liquid solid or gas?
Solid
Does sound travel more quickly through a liquid or a solid?
A liquid
Does sound travel better through air or through solid?
Solid
Would a seismic wave travel faster through a solid or a liquid?
liquid
Where do sound waves travel through?
Sound waves travel through matter, whether solid, liquid, or gas. They do not travel through vacuum.
What layer of earth will waves travel through faster?
The mantle of course.....because sound waves travel through liquid like surfaces better than solid rock.
Do sound waves travel faster threw liquid or solid?
They travel faster through solids
How does heat travel from a solid to a liquid?
heat doesnt travel from a solid to a liquid. a solid is heated up and turned into a liquid.
Does sound travel faster through a solid liquid or gas and how?
Solid. Because it's more dense.
How does sound travel through solid liquid and gases?
Only by longitudinal mode
