<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

P, S, L

When reading a seismograph,<u> </u><u>P waves</u> come first, then <u>S waves,</u> and, finally, <u>L waves</u>.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • Seismic waves are used to measure the strength of an earthquake using and instrument called  seismograph. The major three seismic waves used are the primary waves (P-waves), secondary waves (S-waves) and the L waves.
  • Secondary waves move through earth by causing particles in rocks to move at right angles to the direction of the waves.  Primary waves on the other hand move through the earth by causing particles of rocks to move back and forth in the same direction as the waves.
  • The <u>primary waves</u> are the first to reach a seismograph after an earthquake . These waves move in a push-and-pull motion.

You hear a sound in the distance. Suddenly the sound gets deeper, decreasing in pitch. Which can you assume about the sound wave
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

A. The wavelengths of the new sound waves are longer

Explanation:

This is the Doppler effect which can be best illustraded  for the case of a siren of an ambulance approaching us having a greater frequency and getting lower in frequency and deeper as the ambulance passes  us.

Since the wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency it follows the wavelengths are longer when the frequency decreases lowering its pitch and getting deeper.
