It is determined by the mechanism that propagates the wave, and the properties of the medium that carry out the propagation.
A mechanical wave such as a sound wave requires a medium to travel through.
No, particles of the medium do not become part of the wave
Changing the medium of the wave
In this type of wave, the medium moves perpendicularly to the direction of the wave.
It is determined by the mechanism that propagates the wave, and the properties of the medium that carry out the propagation.
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.
There's no relationship between the frequency and the medium. The frequency of a wave is determined by the source. Once the wave leaves the source and sets out on its journey, the frequency doesn't change, regardless of what kind of stuff the wave encounters and has to travel through.
If the wave requires a medium then it is a mechanical wave.
A mechanical wave such as a sound wave requires a medium to travel through.
It depends on what type of wave and in which medium.
No, particles of the medium do not become part of the wave
Changing the medium of the wave
In this type of wave, the medium moves perpendicularly to the direction of the wave.
The disappearance of a wave into a medium is called absorption.
The medium of a wave is the matter a wave travels through.So yeah, if you wiggle a rope, the medium isn't the air around the rope... the medium is the rope itself!
The medium of any wave is the material that the wave energy travels through; in this case water.
