What speed per second do P waves & S waves travel to do with earthquakes?
P waves or Primary waves are having shorter wave length and high frequency S waves or secondary waves have longer wave length and low frequency as the p- waves are compressive in nature and motion of p waves are in the direction of motion of wave, the speed per second will decelerate (decrease) very queckly because speed per second means accelaration, of the wave will reduce as the p waves decipate the energy as it proceed through the ground…
