P-Wave 1


P-Wave 1 :

(n.) Geophysics. An elastic body wave or sound wave in which particles oscillate in the direction the wave propagates. P-waves are the waves studied in conventional seismic data. P-waves incident on an interface at other than normal incidence can produce reflected and transmitted S-waves, in that case known as converted waves. Syn: Acoustic Wave, Compressional Wave, Dilatational Wave. See: Acoustic, Amplitude Variation With Offset, Body Wave, Converted Wave, Dilatancy Theory, Dilatation, Discontinuity, Elastic, Elastic Wave, Interval Velocity, Poisson's Ratio, Rarefaction, S-Wave, Seismic, Shadow Zone, Shear, Snell's Law, Sonic, Sonic Log, Transit Time, Wave
