How does energy and speed relate?
The speed of a wave is a property of the medium, changing the speed would need a change in the medium itself. If the medium doesn't change as a wave moves, the wave speed is steady. Formula: Speed = distance divided by time
How does changing the wavelength affect the speed of a wave?
The universal wave equation states that v = fλ, therefore wavelength is directly related to the speed of the wave. That means that if the frequency is increased, the speed is also increased and vice versa, as long as frequency is kept constant.
What effects the speed of a wave?
The speed of a wave changes as the wave passes from one medium to another.
As the speed and length of a wave decrease the wave?
An equation that relates three basic quantities for waves in general is:speed = wavelength x frequency In this case, if you increase the speed (without changing the wavelength), the frequency would have to increase; on the other hand, if you increase the wavelength (without changing the speed), the frequency would go decrease.
Will the speed of a wave change if you increase its frequency while in the same medium?
The speed of the wave depends on characteristics of the medium. Changing thefrequency results in a change in wavelength, just enough so that the product of(frequency) times (wavelength) is always the same number . . . the speed.
How does changing the frequency affect the wave speed?
The speed of a wave doesn't depend on its frequency.

How is the speed of an AC motor that's being driven by a constantly changing sine wave voltage effected?
Assuming the sine wave's angular frequency is what's changing, the motor will speed up and slow down in proportion to that frequency.
How does pressure affect sound wave propagation?
Only the temperature is changing the speed of sound.

A sound wave moves from a medium where particles of matter are closely packed to a medium where particles of matter are further apart How do you expect the sound wave to travel differently?
The wave will move faster, increasing its speed.
Will the speed of a wave change if you increase its frequency while in the same medium?
The speed of the wave depends on characteristics of the medium. Changing thefrequency results in a change in wavelength, just enough so that the product of(frequency) times (wavelength) is always the same number . . . the speed.
What kind of wave is speed?
Speed is not a wave.
How does the wavelength of a wave change if the frequency stayed the same?
For any wave, the product of (wavelength) x (frequency) is always the same number ... the wave's speed. So, as long as the speed stays the same, neither wavelength nor frequerncy can change without the other one also changing.
How does changing the amplitude of a wave impact wave speed?
Amplitude has to do with sound. Vibrating air creates sound using amplitude which is the size of the vibration, and how loud it is. Frequency is the speed of the vibration. The higher the speed, the higher the sound and vice-versa. Amplitude has no effect on wave speed as relates to sound. I believe the same holds for waves of water. Amplitude or size of the wave effects its impact, not its speed.
