3. How will differentiate the characteristics of P-wave and S-wave?​

Sagot :

Answer:

P-waves are compression waves. They can propagate in solid or liquid material. S-waves are shear waves. They only propagate in solid material.

hope it help

Explanation:

Answer:

Explanation:P waves are compression waves along the axis of source vibration.

S waves are shear waves perpendicular to axis of compression.

Best way to test the difference between P and S waves is to place ears on your table, knock on opposite surface under table. What you hear or feel is the P wave travelling across the thickness of the table.

Now, knock on the same side of table while placing ears on table. Here, you hear or feel S waves spreading on surface

Usually. P wave is twice as fast as S wave because density is twice in depth than on surface.
