Match the wave with its property.

1. P wave   2. S wave   3. Rayleigh wave

P. Retrograde elliptical surface motion   Q. Longitudinal, travels through liquids   R. Transverse, stopped by liquids

Select the correct matching.

  • A.1-R, 2-Q, 3-P
  • B.1-P, 2-Q, 3-R
  • C.1-Q, 2-P, 3-R
  • D.1-Q, 2-R, 3-P

Answer: D

The P wave is compressional and passes through fluids, the S wave is a shear wave that does not, and the Rayleigh wave rolls along the surface in a vertical ellipse. Those three properties are the ones most often tested.
