What happens to the speed of a wave as it travels from a liquid to a solid?
it slows down
What happens when something moves faster than the speed of the wave it is emitting?
That, is what would be time traveling.
What happens when a light ray moves from one substance to another?
The speed changes. (and sometimes the angle.)
When a sound source moves towards you what happens to the wave speed?
It is called the Doppler Effect. When the source of waves approaches you (can be any type of waves - mechanical, electromagnetic like light etc.), the wavelength gets smaller and frequency higher. So when a car approaches you, you hear higher tone than when it departs.
When waves travelling from one medium to another medium its speed changeswhy?
The speed of a mechanical wave depends on the mechanical properties of the medium. When the mechanical properties of the medium change, the speed of the mechanical wave changes as a result. The speed of an electromagnetic wave depends on the electrical properties of the medium. When the electrical properties of the medium change, the speed of the electromagnetic wave changes as a result.
What happens to the speed of light as it moves from water into air?
The speed increases.
What happens when the speed at which a magnet moves is increased?
dissaipates
If a solid mass travels at the speed of light and it passes through the suns ray to earth would it be seen?
A solid mass won't travel at the speed of light.A solid mass of any speed can block rays of light from the Sun, if it happens to pass in front of the Sun.A solid mass won't travel at the speed of light.A solid mass of any speed can block rays of light from the Sun, if it happens to pass in front of the Sun.A solid mass won't travel at the speed of light.A solid mass of any speed can block rays of light from the Sun, if it happens to pass in front of the Sun.A solid mass won't travel at the speed of light.A solid mass of any speed can block rays of light from the Sun, if it happens to pass in front of the Sun.
What happens when light passes into a material where the speed of light is lower?
It moves at a slower speed!
Happens when force moves an object over a distance?
speed
When a sound moves towards you what happens to the wave speed?
It stays the same.
What happens to primary waves when they pass from solid to liquid?
they speed up
What happens to speed of sound when it goes from solid to gaseous state?
It decreases.
What happens to the speed of a wave as it travels from a liquid to a solid?
it slows down
A liquid cools down and changes to solid what happens to the speed of particles?
The average speed of the particles decreases.
What happens to the mass of a particle as the particle approacches the speed of light?
When any object with mass moves, no matter at what speed, its mass increases. The faster it moves, the faster its mass increases. And the closer to the speed of light it moves, the closer to infinity its mass grows.
What happens to the molecules in a sovelent when it heats up?
They speed up and moves faster and faster.
