What happens when a wave moves from one medium into another of different densities?
It refracts some and reflects some.
What are the speeds of a long wave light compared to a short wave light?
Their speeds are exactly identical.
What happens to the speed of a wave as the wave goes from one medium to another?
It depends whether the new medium is "heavier" or "lighter" than the previous medium. If it is "heavier" then the wave slows down. If it is "lighter" the wave speeds up.
When a wave reflects from a fixed boundary the only change in the wave is the direction of travel?
true
When does reflection occur in a wave?
When the wave hits an object it reflects (bounces) off the object

If a sound wave speeds up and its frequency does not change what happens to the wavelength?
With the same speed -Apex (1.2.4)

What happens when a infrared wave strikes an object?
it doesnt reflect but it stays on the object and only reflects enough so that the human eye can see it.
What happens when an object absorbs some of light's frequencies and reflects other's?
The light wave could be absorbed by the object, in which case its energy is converted to heat. The light wave could be reflected by the object. And the light wave could be transmitted by the object. ...
What does P wave forms reflect?
A P wave reflects atrial depolarization.

What you call the incoming or original wave before it reflects off a surface?
That's the incident wave.
What happens if you wave at the northern lights?
Nothing happens if you wave at them.
