the waves actually gets shorter...............................................................................................
Iron is denser than air. Waves travel faster through denser medium.
The molecule of the medium vibrates at the dirction in which the wave travels
Sound waves travel through any medium with the exception of vacuum. The denser the medium, the faster the sound waves travel, because the waves can be farther apart..
Diffraction of light waves is caused by the density of the medium through which the light is passing. Diffraction results when light travels from rarer to denser medium.
the medium will definitely effect the speeds of both speed and sound...check out the following articles from wikipedia for more information. speed of sound http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_sound speed of light http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_light

A low temp source emits low-frequency, long wavelength waves. A medium temp source emits medium frequency, medium wavelength waves. A high temp source emits high frequency, short wavelength waves.
Things that different waves have in common:* There is some disturbance, and that disturbance is propagated (as a wave) through some medium. * Waves have a speed, a wavelength, and a frequency. * These are related by the equation: speed = wavelength x frequency. * Waves transfer energy.
Waves travel faster in denser mediums. For example, sound travels faster in water than air.
The dispersion relationship depends on the medium through which the waves propagate and on the type of waves (for instance electromagnetic, sound or water waves). For sound waves, the denser a medium is, the faster the waves will travel as particles will be closer together and thus energy can be transferred among them at a greater rate.
