What happens to the speed and wavelenght and frequency of a wave when it reaches the boundary between two media?

Frequency never changes since it depends only on source.
Speed can either increase or decrease, depending on the direction of travel of light. This would cause an increase or decrease in wavelength respectively.
Speed increases when light travels from an optically denser medium to an optically less dense one. (For example, when light travels from water to air)
Speed decreases when light travels from an optically less dense medium to an optically denser medium.

As the wavelenght decreases what happens to the waves frequency?
As wavelength decreases, frequency increases
What happens when you adjust frequency?
when you increase the frequency, then the wavelength decreases. :)
What happens to the frequency when the wheel speed increases?
Frequency increases.
What happens if frequency increases?
Something happens more often. Like if you fart frequency increases then you fart more often.
What happens to wavelengths when frequency decreses?
Wavelength is inversely proportional to Frequency. Wavelengths increase as Frequency decreases.
As the wavelenght decreases what happens to the waves frequency?
As wavelength decreases, frequency increases
What happens to the wavelenght of a wave when the frequencey of the wave doubled but speed stays same?
Speed = wavelength x frequency, so wavelength = speed / frequency. Therefore, the wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency. Double the frequency means half the wavelength.
What happens at the boundary between the oceanic and continental plates?
Zombie apocalypse.
What is the definition of artificial boundaries?
An artificial boundary is a boundary made by humans, examples include dams, the fence at the border between the U.S and Mexico. A natural boundary is a boundary made by nature, a boundary that "happens" naturally, examples include rivers, mountains and such.
What happens at the boundary between 2 air masses?
A front forms when 2 air masses meet.
What happens at the boundary between two air masses?
The warm air is pushed up and the temperature rises
What happens in a circuit at resonant frequency?
what is resonant frequency
What happens to the distance between the crests when the amplitude is increased?
Nothing happens. Distance between crests is a measure of frequency; amplitude is a measure of the strength, the height of the wave, or auditory volume of the signal.
What happens to the frequency when the wheel speed increases?
Frequency increases.
What does the frequency of an earthquake mean?
Frequency is how often something happens.
What happens when you adjust frequency?
when you increase the frequency, then the wavelength decreases. :)
What happens at a ocean ocean boundary?
At an ocean ocean convergent boundary, there will be a formation of volcanoes.
