单词 Rayleigh wave
释义

Definition of Rayleigh wave in English:

Rayleigh wave

noun
Physics
  • An undulating wave that travels over the surface of a solid, especially of the ground in an earthquake, with a speed independent of wavelength, the motion of the particles being in ellipses.

    Example sentencesExamples
    • In the complex environments of wood and soil substrates, it is probable that more than one type of boundary wave, especially longitudinal and Rayleigh waves, is important.
    • The largest amplitudes seen in this movie are the Rayleigh waves traveling around the globe.
    • But dry sand, like that found in desert dunes is a surprisingly good conductor of the wave type that carries most of the energy away from surface disturbances-the Rayleigh wave.
    • There are two types of surface waves: Love and Rayleigh waves.
    • Arrows depict the high amplitude ground surface waves with velocities equivalent to Rayleigh waves, and higher velocity body waves, most probably p waves.
