On The Study of Travelling Wave 陳建隆 (中央大學數學系) A Travelling Wave Examples of traveling waves sound waves water waves on the surface of the ocean seismic waves Sound is a Pressure Wave Water Wave Water Waves Seismic wave Energy wave generated by an earthquake or an artificial explosion. Two types of seismic: wavescolon; body waves that travel through the Earth’s interior; and surface waves that travel through the surface layers of the crust and can be felt as the shaking of the ground, as in an earthquake. Types of earthquake waves • P, or primary, waves, which are compressional and travel fastest; • S, or secondary, waves, which are transverse, i.e., they cause the earth to vibrate perpendicularly to the direction of their motion. • Surface waves consist of several major types and are called L, or long, waves. • Since the velocities of the P and S waves are affected by changes in the density and rigidity of the material through which they pass, the boundaries between the regions of the earth known as the crust, mantle, and core have been discerned by seismologists, scientists who deal with the analysis and interpretation of earthquake waves (see earth). Seismographs (see seismology) are used to record P, S, and L waves. The disappearance of S waves below depths of 1,800 mi (2,900 km) indicates that at least the outer part of the earths core is liquid P-Wave S-Wave Love-Wave Rayleigh Wave Rayleigh surface waves Demonstration of Transverse and Longitudinal Waves • This is a transverse wave wave, such as a wave on a string. The wave is moving to the right, but the individual points on the string, such as those indicated by red and blue dots, are moving up and down (perpendicular to the direction of motion of the
