How does a change in speed cause a wave to change direction?
newton's
When a wave approaches a boundary between two media obliquely does its direction of motion change or remains the same?
The direction of the wave changes if its speed is different in the two media.
What is the change in direction of a wave when it changes speed as it travels from one material to another?
That's 'refraction'.
What does velocity of a wave measure?
The speed and direction of a wave
In which type of wave is energy transmitted in a definite direction and with definite speed?
A traveling wave is a type of wave in which energy is transmitted in a definite direction and with a definite speed.
How does a change speed cause a wave to change direction?

How does a change in speed cause a wave to change direction?

Type of wave is energy transmitted in a definite direction and with a definite speed?
A transverse wave would cause the displacement to be perpendicular to the direction. They will also be moving at a constant speed.
What is changed to cause refraction?
Refraction is a change in direction of a wave due to a change in its transmission medium.
When a wave approaches a boundary between two media obliquely does its direction of motion change or remains the same?
The direction of the wave changes if its speed is different in the two media.
What is the change in direction of a wave when it changes speed as it travels from one material to another?
That's 'refraction'.
What is it called when a wave suddenly changes directions it passes from one material to on other?
Refraction phenomenon Typically, the change in wave speed in the material causes the change in direction.
What does velocity of a wave measure?
The speed and direction of a wave
In which type of wave is energy transmitted in a definite direction and with definite speed?
A traveling wave is a type of wave in which energy is transmitted in a definite direction and with a definite speed.
What is it called when waves change there speed when they go in to different matereals?
This is related to a change in direction. The change in direction is called refraction. The numbers that describe HOW MUCH the speed of the wave slows down is called "index of refraction", especially in the case of light waves.
A transverse wave cause its medium to move in what direction?
Perpendicular to the direction the wave travels.
What effects the speed of a wave?
The speed of a wave changes as the wave passes from one medium to another.
