The electrical milestone event that occurs at the P wave of the cardiac cycle of the EKG is atrial depolarization. The upward stroke is right atrial depolarization, and the downward stroke is left atrial depolarization. Normally, this lasts for no more than 0.11 sec.

∙ 10y agoThe P wave represents atrial depolarization in an ECG, so it occurs just before the P wave on the ECG tracing. It signifies the activation of the atria as they prepare to contract and pump blood into the ventricles.

no a p wave is faster than s wave
The S-wave, or secondary wave, always arrives after the P-wave. S-waves are slower than P-waves and are the second wave to arrive during an earthquake.
A P wave is a type of seismic wave generated by an earthquake that travels the fastest through the Earth's layers. It is the first wave to arrive at a seismograph station and is known as a compressional wave because it pushes and pulls the rock particles as it moves.
P-wave particles move in the same direction as the wave's propagation, which is the direction of energy transfer. This movement is back and forth in the direction of the wave.
No, to find the epicenter of an earthquake, you use the difference in arrival times between the P-wave and the S-wave at a seismograph station. The greater the time difference between the two waves, the farther the earthquake's epicenter is from that particular station. Subtraction is not directly involved in this process.
Immediately before the P wave in the cardiac cycle, the atria contract (atrial systole), pushing blood into the ventricles. This phase is called atrial depolarization. The P wave represents the depolarization of the atria on an electrocardiogram (ECG).
P-Wave
S-wave stands for : Secondary wave. It comes after the P-wave and goes before the L-wave.

The S-wave, or secondary wave, always arrives after the P-wave. S-waves are slower than P-waves and are the second wave to arrive during an earthquake.
Both, first the P wave Then the S wave.
The P-wave generally arrives before the S-wave during an earthquake. The time difference between them can help determine the distance to the earthquake's epicenter. In this case, if the S-wave arrived 11 minutes after the earthquake, you would need to calculate the time difference between the arrival of the P-wave and the S-wave to determine how long after the P-wave arrival the S-wave arrived.
Longitudinal Waves
P wave forms reflect atrial depolarization in the heart, specifically the spread of electrical activity through the atria causing them to contract. This is the initial wave seen on an electrocardiogram (ECG) tracing.
Yes. P-waves are known as primary waves and are a compressional or longitudinal wave.
They call it the Primary wave or a P-wave
The primary body wave that is a longitudinal wave is the P wave. P waves are compressional waves that travel through solid and liquid materials by causing particles to move in the same direction of wave propagation.
