What factor is responsible for altering the speed of an electromagnetic wave?
the medium
A certain wave has a wavelength of 45.0 meters and a frequency of 9.00 Hz What is the speed of the wave?
The speed of propagation of an electromagnetic wave (like light, which is an electromagnetic wave) is nearly the speed of light. It will actually be the speed of light in a vacuum. But it does travel a little more slowly depending on the medium through which it is traveling. (Like air.) The frequency of the electromagnetic wave is not a determining factor in finding its speed, but will certainly be a factor in determining its absorption by the medium. A radio wave of 9.5109 Hz is a really low frequency wave, and generating and transmitting it would be a pretty piece of engineering.
What do we call a speed at which a wave travels?
I would call it "the speed of the wave".
If the amplitude of a sound wave is increased by a factor of four how does the energy carried by the sound wave in a time interval change?
Well, energy is directly proportional to the square of the amplitude. So if you increase the amplitude of a sound wave by a factor of 4, the resulting energy would be 16 times as large.
How does wave speed relate to wavelength and period?
Wave speed = (wavelength)/(period)
What wave property affects the speed of a wave?
Both the wavelength and the frequency of a wave affect the speed of a wave.
What factor is responsible for altering the speed of an electromagnetic wave?
the medium
How does the wavelength of a light wave change if the frequency in increased by a factor of 3 Assume the speed of the wave remains unchanged?

How the structure of earth interior affects seismic waves speed and direction?
The structure of Earth's interior affects seismic wave speed and direction differently at different boundaries. As P waves enter the mantle, they pick up speed until they enter the core, where the wave paths are bent sharply.
Which factor directly affects the wind speed between two locations?
air pressure

Does color of a laser affects the velocity of the light wave projected by a laser?
No. Light travels at the same speed no matter what.
What factors influence the transmission of light?
I only know ONE factor that affects the speed of light. Its the medium.
What kind of wave is speed?
Speed is not a wave.
How does each factor affect transmission of sound waves?
Pressure does not make any change in the speed of sound But temperature affects it. Velocity is proportional to the square root of kelvin temperature Humidity also affects the speed of sound. Higher the humidity more the speed
How does the speed of the wave relate to its wavelength and frequency?
Wavelength relates to speed , since wavelength is the distance between the repeating of a wave , thus speed affects the distance . The faster the smaller the wavelength.Frequency is the number of occurrences of a repeating event per unit time.Waves with higher frequencies have shorter wavelengths.
How elasticity of a medium affects the speed at which sound travels?
by causeing larger sound waves through objects
