Does varying the either the wavelength or frequency affect the speed of the wave in that medium?
No.
What are sound wave amplitudes?
the amplitude of a wave is measured from the peak to trough from a given period.
Can the speed of a single wave change?
Because of albert einsteins theory, he shows that by trying to change the speed of a wave is impossible, unless you can change the wavelength of the wave since the frequency is unchangeable.
How does energy and speed relate?
The speed of a wave is a property of the medium, changing the speed would need a change in the medium itself. If the medium doesn't change as a wave moves, the wave speed is steady. Formula: Speed = distance divided by time
Does the wave speed change in the Doppler effect?
Yes, the Doppler effect defines the change in speed of a sound wave due to motion. As I recall, the Doppler Effect is a change in the frequency of a wave, not its speed. Yep, I'm pretty sure Doppler is a frequency change, not a speed of sound change.

Is it true that contructive interfecence occurs when amplitudes of two waves combine to produce a wave with a smaller amplitude?
Constructive interference occurs when amplitudes of two waves combine to produce a wave with a larger amplitude.If a wave with a smaller amplitude is produced, destructive interference has occurred.
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.
Waves with the greater amplitudes carry MORE OR LESS energy than waves with smaller amplitudes?
Wave with higher amplitude carry more energy than wave with lower amplitude. For simple consideration, no amplitude is no wave and thus no energy but just a flat surface of water. Wave with amplitude must have higher energy than the no wave.
When two waves overlap and interfere constructively what does the resulting wave have?
the amplitudes add together
What is contructive interference?
Constructive interference is in-phase addition of waves, such that wave amplitudes increase.
