Surface waves are a type of mechanical wave that travel along the interface between different media, such as the surface of water or the boundary between solid and liquid materials. These waves have distinct characteristics that differentiate them from bulk waves, which travel through a medium rather than along its surface. There are two primary types of surface waves: 1. **Rayleigh Waves**: These waves occur when a wave travels along the surface of a solid.
