Ultrasound waves have a frequency higher than the upper limit of hearing for humans. |
|
(Physics Only) What type of wave has a frequency higher than the upper limit of hearing for humans? |
|
|
|
Students should be aware that the study of seismic waves provided new evidence that led to discoveries about parts of the Earth which are not directly observable. |
|
(HT and Physics Only) What evidence did study of seismic waves provide? |
|
|
|
Seismic waves are produced by earthquakes. |
|
(Physics Only) What produces
Seismic waves? EW: Describe and explain how P-waves and S-waves travel through the Earth’s interior, and how this allows us to build up a picture of the Earth’s interior. |
|
|
|
P-waves are longitudinal, seismic waves. |
|
(Physics Only) What type of wave is a P wave? Sketch a diagram of the structure of the Earth, show students a seismometer. Ask students to think > pair > share why they think it is difficult to predict when earthquakes are going to occur. Ask them to label their diagram to show where S and P wave would travel through. |
|
|
|
S-waves are transverse, seismic waves. |
|
(Physics Only) What type of wave is a S wave? Build a simple seismometer |
|
|
|
S-waves cannot travel through a liquid. |
|
(Physics Only) What can S waves not travel through? |
|
|
|
P-waves and S-waves provide evidence for the structure and size of the Earth?s core. |
|
(Physics Only) What do P-waves and S-waves provide evidence for? |
