Answer:

P-waves pass through both mantle and core, but are slowed and refracted at the mantle / core boundary at a depth of 2900 km.

S-waves passing from the mantle to the core are absorbed because shear waves cannot be transmitted through liquids. This is evidence that the outer core does not behave like a solid substance.

The compression waves or the P waves exert force in the path of propagation whereas, in shear waves, the action of the medium is vertical to the path of propagation of waves.

  • P waves can move at a faster rate as compared to the S waves.

  • P waves can move both in the fluid as well as the solid media while S waves can move only through the solid media.

  • At a bottom of 2,500 km, the P waves reach both the mantle and core but grow slower at the mantle-core frame.

  • The S waves on another hand get absorbed during travelling through the mantle and core because shear waves cannot travel through the liquid state.

Therefore the P wave can travel easily while the S wave will get absorbed.
