Surface waves travel along the Earth's surface. Two examples of surface waves are Rayleigh waves and Love waves. Explain to your students that Rayleigh waves cause the ground to ripple up and down ...

Traveling through the interior of the Earth, body waves arrive before the surface waves emitted by an earthquake. These waves are higher frequency than surface waves. P waves are also known as ...

The primary area of research is air-sea interaction, including the topics of surface wave dynamics, air-sea fluxes, upper ocean turbulence, including Langmuir circulations, and the remote sensing of ...

Waves spread out in circular patterns and can ... focusing them on a sharp metallic tip positioned just above the material's surface. "The light sets the electrons in the tip in motion," explains ...

Water waves can reflect or ‘bounce off’ a surface. For example, ocean waves are reflected when they hit a harbour wall, just like light waves reflect when they hit a mirror and waves in ...
