But this characterization also fits various kinds of perceptual and linguistic activities that are not usually considered measurements, and is therefore too broad to count as a definition of measurement.
While mechanical waves are caused by wave amplitude and not by frequency, electromagnetic waves are produced by the vibration of the charged particles. When comparing the speed of mechanical and electromagnetic waves, the former travels at low speed.
Two types of seismic waves are body waves and surface waves. Which of the following statements correctly describes body waves and surface waves? A.)Body waves include P waves, which are the faster waves, while surface waves include S waves, which are slower. B.) Surface waves include P waves and S waves, which travel faster than body waves. C.) Surface waves include P waves, which are the faster waves, while body waves include S waves, which are slower. D.) Body waves include P waves and S waves, which travel faster than surface waves travel.
