What is the speed at which a wave travels through water or other medium called?
The speed at which a wave travels through water or another medium is called the wave speed. It is determined by the properties of the medium, such as its density and elasticity.
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 a medium called?
wave speed
The speed at which a wave travels through a medium is called what?
The speed at which a wave travels through a medium is called the wave speed or wave velocity. It is determined by the properties of the medium, such as its density and elasticity, and is independent of the wavelength and frequency of the wave.
The speed of a sound wave depend on what?
The medium in which it travels through
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.
In what medium the speed of light will be minimum?
The speed of light is a set speed at which all electromagnetic waves travel at in a vacuum. It is 3*10^8 meters/second... That being said, when light, or any other EM wave, travels through a medium it will slow down. Every material has an index of refraction which is the ratio of the speed at which light travels in a vacuum, to the the speed it travels in that material. If you know the index of refraction, you can use Snell's law to determine the speed light will travel through a specific medium. Every medium is different, however a rule of thumb is the denser the medium, the slower light will travel through it. For example, light travels faster in the atmoshpere than it does in water.
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 phrase best describes wave speed?
Wave speed is the rate at which a wave disturbance travels through a medium. It is typically measured in meters per second (m/s) or other units of distance per time. The phrase "the speed at which a wave travels through a medium" describes wave speed accurately.
What variables affect the speed at which a wave travels through a medium?
density
What is the speed of which a wave travels through a medium?
Over 6,000 mph.
How fast a wave travels through a meduim?
The speed at which a wave travels through a medium depends on the properties of the medium. In general, the denser the medium, the faster the wave will travel. The speed of a wave can also be influenced by factors like temperature, pressure, and elasticity of the medium.
