When speed passes from one medium wave to another what happens?
it changes in velocity
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 happens to the matter through which wave passes after the wave is gone?
It will be like it was before
When the light passes through the second medium what happens to the wave that causes the light to bend?
When light passes through a second medium with different refractive index as the first medium, its velocity will decrease or increase depending on its wavelength and the difference in refractive index of the two media. This causes the 'bending' of light as each of its components try to travel through the second medium at different velocities.
Which part of a wave is affected by the temperature of the medium it passes through?
The speed is, and, as a direct consequence, the wavelength.
What is the maximum distance the particles of the medium move away from the rest positions as a wave passes through the medium?
The maximum distance the particles move away from their rest positions as a wave passes through a medium is the amplitude of the wave.
What is the word describing the material through which a wave passes?
A wave can only pass through a medium
What happens to interstellar gas as it passes through a spiral density wave?
what happens to interstellear gas as it passes through a spiral density wave

What happens to the dirtier of a light wave when it passes from a less dense medium such as air into a more dense medium such as glass?
The answer depends on what on earth you mean by the "dirtier" of a wave.
Can a wave move through a substance called a medium?
When a wave passes through a substance, it gets transmitted through it. The speed of the wave changes depending on the nature of the substance.
A wave travels through a medium because?
the waves energy passes from particle to particle
When the light passes through the second medium what happens to the wave that causes the light to bend?
When light passes through a second medium with different refractive index as the first medium, its velocity will decrease or increase depending on its wavelength and the difference in refractive index of the two media. This causes the 'bending' of light as each of its components try to travel through the second medium at different velocities.
Which part of a wave is affected by the temperature of the medium it passes through?
The speed is, and, as a direct consequence, the wavelength.
Does a periodic disturbance of a medium describe a wave?
No. If it happens that the disturbance propagates through the medium, i.e. spreads out from the disturbed point, then the phenomenon that travels away from the disturbance and through the medium describes the wave.
