Rocks within Earth both expand and contract as P waves pass

Explanation:

Rocks within the earth both expands and contracts as P-waves passes through them. P-waves are elastic waves.

  • Elastic waves behaves in such a way that they do not cause permanent deformation of rocks.
  • They can be said to cause elastic deformation when they travel through rocks.
  • They simply temporarily expand and contract the rock within a short period by causing the vibration of particles of the medium.
  • After a short while, the rock returns back to its original position as if nothing has happened to it.
  • These elastic waves are better called seismic waves.
  • P-waves are primary waves that can travel through any medium.

Answer:

The answer to your question is given below

Explanation:

From the question given above, we can see that the wave with a higher frequency has a shorter wavelength while that with a lower frequency has a longer wavelength. This is so because the frequency and wavelength of a wave has inverse relationship. This can further be explained by using the following formula:

Velocity = wavelength x frequency

Divide both side by wavelength

Frequency = Velocity /wavelength

Keeping the velocity constant, we have:

Frequency ∝ 1 / wavelength

From the above illustration, we can see clearly that the frequency and wavelength are in inverse relationship. This implies that the higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength and the shorter the frequency, the higher the wavelength.
