What factors affect the speed of wave?
Some factors that affect the speed of sound waves are density of medium, temperature, direction of wind, and humidity. Remember that a sound wave is just a pressure disturbance that travels through a medium by particle interactions. The nature of the medium will affect the sound waves velocity.
The speed of any mechanical wave depends on?
Elasticity and Density of the medium c^2=elasticity/density
Does varying the either the wavelength or frequency affect the speed of the wave in that medium?
No.
Does the frequency or wavelength of the wave affect its speed?
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.
What is the speed of a wave dependent upon?
The medium in which it travels.

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.
What variables affect the speed at which a wave travels through a medium?
density
Does varying the either the wavelength or frequency affect the speed of the wave in that medium?
No.
What wave property affects the speed of a wave?
Both the wavelength and the frequency of a wave affect the speed of a wave.
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.
How does the speed of sound relate to temperature elasticity and density?
The speed of any mechanical wave depends on the density of the medium. Since solids are the densest, the speed of sound is minimum in solids. It is the maximum in gases, since the medium is the least densest.
How elasticity of a medium affects the speed at which sound travels?
by causeing larger sound waves through objects
Does the frequency or wavelength of the wave affect its speed?
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.
The Speed of a wave in a medium?
It depends on what type of wave and in which medium.
What is the speed of a wave dependent upon?
The medium in which it travels.
