What will change the velocity of a periodic wave?
Changing the medium of the wave
Does a transverse wave move a medium?
In this type of wave, the medium moves perpendicularly to the direction of the wave.
What happens when a wave moves from one medium into another of different densities?
It refracts some and reflects some.
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.
What is a substance in which a wave moves?
A medium
What is transferrd as a wave moves through a medium?
Energy.
Does a transverse wave move a medium?
In this type of wave, the medium moves perpendicularly to the direction of the wave.

Does matter in the medium moves perpendicular to a transverse wave?
A wave where the medium moves perpendicular to the direction of the wave is called a transverse wave. Its highest point is called the crest.
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.
What is a substance in which a wave moves?
A medium
When a wave travels through a medium certain molecules travel with that wave and carry the waves signal?
No. The energy of the wave moves thru the molecules that carry it.
What happens when a waves strikes an object and bends?
The bending of a wave as it moves from one medium into another is called refraction.
What is a Mechanical waves?
A mechanical wave is a disturbance (an oscillation) that moves through a medium. The source transfers mechanical energy into the medium itself, and the medium propagates the energy of the wave. Examples are sound and an earthquake, and a tsunami.
When a wave moves from a dense medium to a less dense medium most of the wave energy is?
refracted
When a wave moves from a dense medium to a less dense medium most if the wave energy is what?
Refracted
