  • If any explosion takes place at the bottom of a lake, what type of shock waves is created?

If any explosion takes place at the bottom of a lake. Infrasound type of shock waves in water will take place?

Answers (1)

Transverse wave cannot travel in air or within the water.

Transverse wave can only travel at the surface of water or in solids.

So when any explosion takes place at the bottom of lake, the shock waves have to travel within the water.

These shock waves cannot be transverse and they have to be longitudinal waves like sound wave.
