What is the main difference between body waves and surface waves?
Surface waves travel slower than body waves.
How many surface waves are there?
There is Two types of surface waves :)
Who are more fastest P S L or W waves?
P waves... L waves are slowest.
What waves travel at 90 degree angles?
Transverse waves.
What is the frequency of the waves traveling to the shore if six waves reach the shore in 30 seconds?
The frequency of the waves is 0.20 HZ.
What Waves are not normal for awake adults but are common on children?
"Theta waves" are irregular, though common in children, theta waves are uncommon in awake adults...but may appear when concentrating. ~jm~ A&P 201
What are the types of brain waves?
From lowest to highest frequency, Delta, Theta, Alpha and Beta
What are theta waves?
The brain produces four distinct types of brain waves--delta, theta, alpha, and beta.the more relaxing alpha (8-13 Hz) and theta waves (4-9 Hz).are usually associated with deep, meditative states
How does disease affect brain waves?
In general, disease typically increases slow activity such as theta or delta waves, but decreases fast activity such as alpha and beta waves.
What effect does disease have on brain waves?
In general, disease typically increases slow activity, such as theta or delta waves, but decreases fast activity, such as alpha and beta waves
What are the four basic types of brain waves?
alpha, beta, theta, and delta, with the type distinguished by frequency
What is one method a scientist might use to study sleep and learn about sleep habits?
An EEG can be used to monitor the brainwaves during sleep, the 4 different waves are beta, alpha, theta, and delta. Beta waves are more common during waking hours, as well as REM sleep (hence: paradoxical sleep), alpha waves typically occur during the period before light sleep, IE drowsiness. Theta mostly occurs during light sleep. Delta is the typical wave type for deep sleep.
What are brainwaves called?
Brainwaves are broken down into 4 main groups. Beta waves which we emit when we are in heightened emotional states. Alpha waves occur when we are moderately relaxed. This is also the state that we learn best in. Theta waves are generally reserved for states of meditations and light sleep. Delta waves are usually emitted while you are unconscious.
What is the presence of theta waves in an adult is an indication of?
The presence of cortical theta waves in an adult human seems to be associated with drowsy, meditative, or sleeping states, although not the deepest sleeping states.
What are the wavelengths of brain waves?
This is straight from Wikipedia Delta up to 4 Hz Theta 4 - 7 Hz Alpha 8 - 12 Hz Beta 12 - 30 Hz Gamma 30 - 100 + Hz {| ! ! ! ! ! ! | |}
Why can't a delta form at a river mouth where the waves are strong?
the waves carry the sand and pieces of rock that form the delta away.
What waves does REM sleep have?
When awake, most people exhibit beta waves , the highest in frequency and lowest in amplitude, They are desynchronousthat is, the waves are not very consistent in their pattern. When relaxed most people exhibit alpha waves, which are slower, increase in amplitude and become more synchronous. The first stage of sleep is characterized by theta waves, which are even slower in frequency and greater in amplitude than alpha waves. Stages 1 and 2 are relatively "light" stages of sleep. A sleeper passes from the theta waves of stage 1 and 2, to the delta waves of stage 3 and 4. Delta waves are the slowest and highest amplitude brain waves. This is the deepest stage of the sleep cycle.The next stage is REM sleep, a sleepers brain waves demonstrate characteristics that are similar to waking sleep, a combination of alpha, beta, and desynchronous waves. This is the stage of sleep most associated with dreaming.In a normal night's sleep, a sleeper begins in stage 1, moves down through the stages, to stage 4, then back up through the stages, with the exception that stage 1 is replaced by REM, then the sleeper goes back down through the stages again. One cycle, from stage 1 to REM takes approximately ninety minutes. This cycle is repeated throughout the night, with the length of REM periods increasing, and the length of delta sleep decreasing, until during the last few cycles there is no delta sleep at all.
