AP Physics 2
14.3 Boundary Behavior of Waves and Polarization
14.1 Properties of Wave Pulses and Waves
Seismic waves generated by an earthquake travel through Earth's solid crust. Primary waves (\(P\)-waves) are longitudinal mechanical waves, and secondary waves (\(S\)-waves) are transverse mechanical waves. As these waves encounter a subterranean region of liquid magma, which wave type can be linearly polarized, and which wave type continues to propagate through the liquid magma?
