How does changing the amplitude of a wave impact wave speed?
Amplitude has to do with sound. Vibrating air creates sound using amplitude which is the size of the vibration, and how loud it is. Frequency is the speed of the vibration. The higher the speed, the higher the sound and vice-versa. Amplitude has no effect on wave speed as relates to sound. I believe the same holds for waves of water. Amplitude or size of the wave effects its impact, not its speed.
What do we call a speed at which a wave travels?
I would call it "the speed of the wave".
How does wave speed relate to wavelength and period?
Wave speed = (wavelength)/(period)
What is the correlation between wavelengths and frequency?
Wavelength = wave speed/frequency Frequency = wave speed/wavelength (Wavelength) x (Frequency) = Wave speed
What is the distance a wave travels in a certain amount of time is called what?
The distance that a wave travels in a certain amount of time is a wavelength. Wrong,it's speed.(:
What effects speed and sound wave?
It is the medium, which is usually air and it is the temperature. Look at the Link: "Speed of Sound in Air and the effective Temperature".
What kind of wave is speed?
Speed is not a wave.

The speed at which the wave crests move is the?
... wave's speed of propagation.
What wave property affects the speed of a wave?
Both the wavelength and the frequency of a wave affect the speed of a wave.
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 is the formula for finding the frequency of a wave?
The wavelength of a wave is calculated using the formula: Wavelength = speed of the wave divided by the frequency of the wave. For radio waves and other wireless signals as well as the speed a signal travels along a wire, the speed of the wave is approximately 299,792,458 meters per second (the speed of light).
What is the speed at which a wave travels through a medium called?
wave speed
What is the equation for calculating wave speed?
wave speed= frequency/wavelenth
What is wave speed equation?
Wave speed wavelength times frequency.
What do we call a speed at which a wave travels?
I would call it "the speed of the wave".
Can a surfer's speed be greater than a wave's speed?
yes.....as he moves up and down the wave facem his speed varies from less then to more trhen the speed of the wave
