What is it called when waves change there speed when they go in to different matereals?
This is related to a change in direction. The change in direction is called refraction. The numbers that describe HOW MUCH the speed of the wave slows down is called "index of refraction", especially in the case of light waves.
What is the bending of waves due to a change in speed called?
Doppler Effectits actually called refraction
When waves change speed as they pass from one medium to another is called?
it is called a DIFFRACTION
Why do seismic waves change speed?
"True, the Seismic Waves change speed and direction when they encounter different materials."
The wave patterns seen in Figure 25.6 are composed of circles What does this tell you about the speed of the waves in different directions?
speed of the waves will not change by the pattern of waves. the speed of a wave will change only when the medium or its properties change.
Light waves change speed and directions when they pass from one transparent material into another This is called?
refraction
How does a change in speed cause a change in direction?
newton's
Why do the speed and paths of the waves change?
Because of interference of other waves & interruption of objects
Heat waves traveling at the speed of light are called?
Heat waves traveling at the speed of light are called RADIATION! :)
What wave is used in RADAR machines to clock the speed of cars?
RADAR = RAdio Detection And RangingRadio waves in the microwave band are used to measure the speed of cars using a technique called "Doppler RADAR", by measuring the change in frequency of the returned waves.These waves are electromagnetic waves.
If the bug in the demonstration moves forward does the speed of the waves change. What does change?
The speed of the wave stays same but the frequency change due to motion.
What is the speed of gravitiy?
Gravitational waves propagate at the speed of light. Any change in the distribution of masses will propagate at that speed.
