What is the speed at which a wave travels through water or other medium?
amplitude
What is the speed at which a wave travels through water or other medium called?
The speed at which a wave passes through water or other medium is called phase velocity.
What is the speed at which a wave travels through a medium called?
wave speed
How is the sound speed and the medium related?
When the density of the medium increases, the speed of the sound wave increases.
The denser the medium through which it is traveling the slower a what wave propagates?
Electromagnetic wave, namely, light as it travels through denser medium its speed decreases from its speed when it travels through air or vacuum.
The speed of a sound wave depend on what?
The medium in which it travels through
The speed at which a wave travels through a medium is called what?
Frequency
Why is it important to explain the speed of light together with the medium in which the light travels?
The speed of light is dependent on the medium it travels through. Light travels fastest in a vacuum than in water or air.
How is the speed of sound affected by medium it travels through?
Sound is affected by the media. It travels high speed in solids generally.
What is the speed of which a wave travels through a medium?
Over 6,000 mph.
What variables affect the speed at which a wave travels through a medium?
density
Do sound waves travel faster in air than in any other medium?
The speed of sound depends on the density of the medium the waves are traveling through. The denser the medium the higher the speed. For example, sound travels faster through water than it does through air.
