      P-waves deform the earth's crust in the same way that a spring stretches and compresses. S-waves deform the earth's crust in the same way that an ocean wave "deforms" the smooth, calm surface of the water. Surface waves have the lowest velocity, the highest amplitudes, and cause the most damage. Have you ever felt an earthquake?

      In the coastal ocean, where waves are also felt near the seabed, the velocity profile includes a wave boundary layer that scales as a function of the wave-generated stress and frequency. The scale is typically on the order of 2 - 10 cm thick for surface gravity waves (Fig. 4.1b).

      36. A certain ocean wave has a frequency of 0.05 Hz and a wavelength of 10 meters. What is the wave's speed? Answer: 0.5 m/s. 37. A wave travels from one medium to another, and the wavelength decreases. What happens to the velocity and the frequency? Answer: frequency stays the same (dependent on source of wave) but velocity decreases. 38.

      Actually the wave equation is quit a different “animal” and is usually not encountered until college courses in physics.) It is interesting to consider what happens when a wave suddenly encounters a medium with a different wave velocity. This frequently happens when light passes from air into water or even when an ocean wave passes over a reef.

      when wave steepness is greater than 1/7 (H/L > 1/7), the velocity is greater than typical deep-water wave speed (v = 1.87 * T) swell: long wavelength, low steepness, well-sorted waves that originated in an area with higher wind speeds than the area they are identified in; travel long distances without losing much energy

      A wave with a frequency of 60.0 Hz travels through steel with a wavelength of 85.5 m. What is the speed of this wave? Earthquakes generate shock waves that travel through Earth’s interior to other parts of the world. The fastest of these waves are longitudinal waves, like sound waves, and are called primary waves, or just p-waves.
