A bow wave refers to a wave or system of waves set up at the bows of a moving ship. The V shape of a bow wave is formed because the wave source is moving much faster than the wave itself.
Yes.
No. Wave speed depends on frequency and wavelength, not amplitude.
A bow wave is produced when the speed of the source exceeds the natural speed of surface waves in the medium (water). This effect is characterised by the disturbance spreading out in a 'V' formation behind the boat.
The speed of a wave depends only on the mechanical or electrical characteristics of the medium or environment through which the wave propagates. It doesn't depend on the wave's frequency or wavelength.

Yes the speed of a wave does depend on the source.
That would also depend on the speed of the wave. Speed = wavelength x frequency.That would also depend on the speed of the wave. Speed = wavelength x frequency.That would also depend on the speed of the wave. Speed = wavelength x frequency.That would also depend on the speed of the wave. Speed = wavelength x frequency.
The speed of a wave doesn't depend on its frequency.
Yes.
No.
No. Wave speed depends on frequency and wavelength, not amplitude.

No
It can't.
Increase in frequency only.
