Question

transverse wave moves through solids at a speed of less than half of the speed of longitudinal wave why? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

No, longitudinal waves travel faster than transverse waves. The longitudinal wave transmission is faster than transverse wave transmission. This speed difference between the longitudinal and transverse wave can be noticed during an earthquake. During an earthquake, both longitudinal and transverse waves are produced. The initial tremor before the big tremor during an earthquake is longitudinal in nature and is called a P-wave. The big tremor after the initial tremor is called an S-wave.

Please mark as the brainliest answer.

• ★ As We know that, The Propagation depends on the property of the medium. Mechanical waves are a type of wave. Remember solid has a definite shape and its molecules are compactly bound to each other by some kind of force.

• Remember that all the transverse waves need not require a solid medium to propagate. Transverse wave can pa ss through the surface tension of the ocean. Waves which do not require medium are known as electromagnetic waves.
