What type of matter has the fastest molecules?
The type of matter that has the fastest molecules are gas. The reason for that it is because since gas particles are spread out the most, they have more room to float around. Which means that they have the fastest moving molecules.
What are the fastest wave motions in the universe?
I mostly think it is human brain waves which has the capacity to aquire signals from any regions of the universe
What is the fastest moving insect in the world?
The fastest ground insect is the cockroach. They are capable of speeds of up to 3.4 miles per hour which equates to 50 body lengths in 1 second.
What caused problems between different cultural groups in the northern cities after 1850?
A wave of immigrants moving to the cities of the Northeast. -Apex
What propels a photon of light thru space for billions of miles?
You don't need to "propel" something, once it is already moving. The natural tendency is for a moving object to continue moving. It requires a force to STOP a moving object, but not to keep it moving at a constant speed. Now, light behaves not just as a particle (photon) but also as a wave; but I believe that the general principle is still the same.
What earthquake waves is the fastest?
The first wave is the fastest
Which earthquake waves are the fastest?
P wave
Is violet the fastest and shortest moving light wave in the visible spectrum?
Yes, it is.
What type of wave is the fastest?
The fastest wave is the electromagnetic wave. Of the seismic waves, the P-wave is the fastest seismic wave.
What type of wave moves the fastest?
Light wave travels fastest in air Sound wave travels fastest in solid or liquid
Are p and s waves produced at the epicenter?
Primary (P) waves : Primary waves, the fastest wave sent , come from the focus not the epicenter. (S) waves : Secondary waves, the second fastest wave sent out by an earthquake, it comes from the focus also.
What is fastest recorded speed of an earthquake?
Seismic wave velocity is mostly dependent on the material they travel through (things like magnitude do not affect wave velocity). As the earth is relatively uniform, there is virtually no deviation in earthquake 'speed'. (Wave velocity will differ depending on phase, depth, etc. - but that's different.)
What are p and s waveswhich one moves faster and ehat types of material can each go through?
The p wave is a pressure wave after a earthquake and it travels the fastest. An s wave is a wave that moves side to side and is second fastest. Bouth types of waves can go though all material but at different speeds. The denser the material the faster is gose generally. The last wave type is a L wave and it is a rolling wave that is also the slowest wave.
Which earthquake wave is not a seismic wave?
the sound wave
Why do earthquake waves travel fast in the crust but slowest in the interior of the earth?
Earthquake waves travel fastest in the interior of the Earth, as speed of waves increases as we go inside the Earth. The speed of a wave depends on the properties of the medium it travels in. The wave propagates faster in the denser and heavier core.
A body earthquake wave the can penetrate the Earth's core?
The earthquake body wave which can penetrate the Earth's core is the P-wave.
What does the wave of an earthquake do?
depends if the wave is strong or not if too strong cood cause an enormous earthquake.
