What will change the velocity of a periodic wave?
Changing the medium of the wave
Does a transverse wave move a medium?
In this type of wave, the medium moves perpendicularly to the direction of the wave.
What is a substance in which a wave moves?
A medium
When a wave moves from a dense medium to a less dense medium most of the wave energy is?
refracted
When a wave moves from a dense medium to a less dense medium most if the wave energy is what?
Refracted
Does a transverse wave move a medium?
In this type of wave, the medium moves perpendicularly to the direction of the wave.

Does matter in the medium moves perpendicular to a transverse wave?
A wave where the medium moves perpendicular to the direction of the wave is called a transverse wave. Its highest point is called the crest.

refracted
When a wave moves from a dense medium to a less dense medium most if the wave energy is what?
Refracted
Is an electromagnetic a compresinal wave?
No, an electromagnetic wave is NOT a compressional wave. An electromagnetic wave is best described as a transverse wave. Remember that in a compressional wave, the energy moves parallel to the medium of the wave, while in a transverse wave, the energy moves perpendicular to the medium.
What is transferrd as a wave moves through a medium?
Energy.
A transverse wave moves in a medium at an obtuse angle to the wave true or false?
Yes
What is the relationship between the movement of the wave and the movement of the medium?
It depends on the type of wave. If it is a transverse wave, then the medium moves in one direction while the wave moves in a perpendicular direction. Flicking a rope up and down causes a transverse wave. Eletromagnetic waves (e.g. light and radio) are transvere. If it is a longitudinal wave then the wave moves in the same direction as the medium. Pushing a slinky causes a longitudinal wave. Sound waves are also longitudinal.
The material in witch a sound wave moves is called a?
"medium"
The bending of a wave as it moves from one medium to another.?
refraction
