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.
When a wave passes from a less dense medium to a more dense medium what might change?
Velocity (speed and direction) Wavelength (frequency)
When speed passes from one medium wave to another what happens?
it changes in velocity
What happens to the speed wavelength and frequency when sound wave passes from cool air into warmer air?
the speed and wavelength increase but the frequency stays the same
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.

Does the amplitude affect on the wavelength or wave speed?
No, the amplitude of a wave does not affect the wavelength or wave speed. The wavelength is determined by the frequency of the wave, while the wave speed is determined by the medium through which the wave is traveling. Amplitude simply represents the maximum displacement of particles in the 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.
What happens to the speed wavelength and frequency when sound wave passes from cool air into warmer air?
the speed and wavelength increase but the frequency stays the same
When a wave is passing through a uniform medium and the frequency of this wave increases it wavelength does what?
The wavelength gets longer.
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.
How are sound waves are affected by their frequency and the medium through which the sound wave passes?
The wavelength is equal to the local velocity of sound divided by the frequency, As with light, there can be refraction when sound passes from one medium to another with a different sound velocity.
Is it the greater of the wave in a perpendicular medium the greater the wavelength of the wave will be?
yes
What happens to the wavelength of a wave when the frequency of a wave is doubled but the wave speed stays the same?
Wavelength is halved.
Velocity of a wave increases and the wavelength stays the same. What will the result be when this happens?
Assuming an electromechanical wave not much. The speed of the wave depends on the medium that the wave is passing through. In a vacuum it is the speed of light, through something else a lesser speed. The wavelength stays the same and the frequency stays the same.
