P WAVES are also called Primary waves. The properties of a primary wave include:

• They can travel through any kind of material, including fluids

• They travel at the speed of sound, so they travel at the speed of sound

S WAVES are also called Secondary waves. The properties of a secondary wave include:

• They are transverse and shear waves in nature
