What is Refracted Wavefront?
Refracted Wavefront is the bending of the path of the waves, is accompanied by a change in speed and wavelength of the waves.
The bending of waves due to a change in speed is?
It is Refraction
Electromagnetic waves slow down or change direction?
Electromagnetic waves are produced by the acceleration of an electric charge. Electromagnetic waves have the same speed in a vacuum (or space). They can slow down and change direction.
When do light waves change speed?
speed of light is different for materials of different refractive index and also higher the refractive index lesser will be speed of light in that medium. so if light travels from rarer to denser medium (with respect to refractive index) then light waves will change their speed
Do speed and wavelength and frequency change causes in electromagnetic waves?
no it doesnt you d*** head
Why do seismic waves change speed?
"True, the Seismic Waves change speed and direction when they encounter different materials."
The wave patterns seen in Figure 25.6 are composed of circles What does this tell you about the speed of the waves in different directions?
speed of the waves will not change by the pattern of waves. the speed of a wave will change only when the medium or its properties change.
How does a change in speed cause a change in direction?
newton's
Why do the speed and paths of the waves change?
Because of interference of other waves & interruption of objects
How does you ear hear sound?
Sound is a mechanism that is carried out by a median which the air particles that carries the sound waves to our ear that we actually hear. There are different sizes of sound waves released by different frequencies and then carried at different speed by the air particles to our ear. Without a median, it is impossible to hear anything around you, like if we take "OUTER SPACE OR VACUUM" into consideration, there is existence of median or no movement of air particles that could carry the sound waves. So as a result what actually our ear detect is the sound waves brought to your ears by a median.
If the bug in the demonstration moves forward does the speed of the waves change. What does change?
The speed of the wave stays same but the frequency change due to motion.
What is the speed of gravitiy?
Gravitational waves propagate at the speed of light. Any change in the distribution of masses will propagate at that speed.
What is Refracted Wavefront?
Refracted Wavefront is the bending of the path of the waves, is accompanied by a change in speed and wavelength of the waves.
The bending of waves due to a change in speed is?
It is Refraction
What property of light waves can be observed as light waves pass from one medium to another and change speed?
diffraction
Electromagnetic waves slow down or change direction?
Electromagnetic waves are produced by the acceleration of an electric charge. Electromagnetic waves have the same speed in a vacuum (or space). They can slow down and change direction.
