- Sound is a mechanical vibration in the form of a pressure wave. Its speed is fastest is rigid materials like diamond (about 12000 meters/second) or steel (about 6000 meters/second) and slower in nonrigid low density materials like air (about 340 meters/second). It cannot travel at all through empty space.
- Heat is electromagnetic radiation similar to light and radio waves and travels fastest in empty space (exactly 299,792,458 meters/second) and slower (or not at all) through materials.

Can a heat wave be snow and heat?
No. A heat wave is a prolonged spell of extremely hot weather. There would be no snow. Rain is not usual during a heat wave either.
How does the frequency of a sound wave affect the speed at which the sound wave moves?
Frequency and speed of propagation of the wave are independent of one another. The medium determines the speed of propagation.
Is velocity the speed of a wave?
Velocity and speed are not synonyms.
What can a standing wave tell you about a wave?
By examining a standing wave you can observe the frequency, wavelength, wave speed, and amplitude of the wave.
Speed of a wave?
The speed of light, in wave or particle form, travels at approximately 300,000,000 meters per second in a vacuum. Although this speed remains constant, the frequency and wavelength are subject to change. These difference account for various colors of visible light.
What kind of wave is speed?
Speed is not a wave.
The speed at which the wave crests move is the?
... wave's speed of propagation.
What wave property affects the speed of a wave?
Both the wavelength and the frequency of a wave affect the speed of a wave.
Is heat wave and heat stroke the same?
no. a heat wave is weather, a heat stroke is a health condition.
Does the amplitude affect on the wavelength or wave speed?
No, the amplitude of a wave does not affect the wavelength or wave speed. The wavelength is determined by the frequency of the wave, while the wave speed is determined by the medium through which the wave is traveling. Amplitude simply represents the maximum displacement of particles in the wave.
When is the famous heat wave recorded?
In1904 there was a long heat wave.
Who beat the heat wave in Heat Wave?
everyone that is still alive??
What is the formula for finding the frequency of a wave?
The wavelength of a wave is calculated using the formula: Wavelength = speed of the wave divided by the frequency of the wave. For radio waves and other wireless signals as well as the speed a signal travels along a wire, the speed of the wave is approximately 299,792,458 meters per second (the speed of light).
What is the speed at which a wave travels through a medium called?
wave speed
What is the equation for calculating wave speed?
wave speed= frequency/wavelenth
What is wave speed equation?
Wave speed wavelength times frequency.
What do we call a speed at which a wave travels?
I would call it "the speed of the wave".
