What happens to the wavelength of the wave as it passes into Medium 2?
The wavelength of the wave can change as it passes into Medium 2, depending on the refractive indices of the mediums. If the wave enters a medium with a higher refractive index, the wavelength will decrease. If it enters a medium with a lower refractive index, the wavelength will increase.
What happends to the wavelength of the waves as they pass into the denser medium?
The wavelength of the waves decreases as they pass into a denser medium. This is because the speed of the waves decreases in a denser medium, but the frequency remains constant. This results in a shorter wavelength.
What is the medium for light?
Light, whatever the wavelength, does not need a medium in order to radiate.
What are the factors that affect the wavelength?
The factors that affect the wavelength of a wave include the medium through which the wave is traveling, the frequency of the wave, and the speed of the wave in that medium. In general, wavelength is inversely proportional to frequency, meaning that as frequency increases, wavelength decreases.
What kind of light has a medium wavelength?
Green
Does varying the either the wavelength or frequency affect the speed of the wave in that medium?
No, varying the wavelength or frequency does not affect the speed of a wave in a particular medium. The speed of a wave in a medium is determined by the properties of that medium, such as its density and elasticity. Changing the frequency or wavelength only affects other characteristics of the wave, such as its energy or pitch.
How does the velocity change as the wavelength increases?
As the wavelength of a wave increases, the velocity of the wave remains constant. In a given medium, the velocity of a wave is determined by the properties of that medium, such as its density and elasticity, and is not affected by changes in wavelength.
What is meant by vacuum wavelength?
Vacuum wavelength is the wavelength that is measured if the wave is passing through a vacuum. To get the wavelength in a medium you need to know the refractive index.
Why the wavelength is always a bit shorter than the calculated one?
The wavelength of light is slightly shorter when passing through a medium due to the slowing down of light in the medium. The wavefronts are displaced closer together, resulting in a shorter wavelength. This phenomenon is known as wavelength compression.
In Waves Workbook Module 5, Exercise 10a, how does the wavelength change in the grey medium?
In Waves Workbook Module 5, Exercise 10a, the wavelength changes in the grey medium by decreasing as it travels through the medium.
What kind of sound does the long wavelength medium amplitude make?
A low tone with a medium volume.
When light wave change its medium from dense to rare frequency increases or decreases?
When a light wave enters a medium where the speed of light is slower (from dense to rare medium), the frequency remains the same but the wavelength decreases. This is because the speed of light is inversely proportional to the wavelength.
