What would cause wavelengths to change?
A change in the medium through which the waves are traveling, like a change in density or temperature, can cause wavelengths to change. Also, the Doppler effect can cause the perceived wavelengths of waves to change when the source of the waves is in motion relative to the observer.
What waves cause damage to property?
Tsunamis, storm surges, and rogue waves are examples of waves that can cause damage to property. Tsunamis are large ocean waves typically caused by undersea earthquakes or volcanic eruptions, storm surges are abnormally high tides driven by strong winds during severe storms, and rogue waves are unexpectedly large and powerful waves that can occur even in seemingly calm conditions.
How does a change in speed cause a change in direction?
newton's
What property of light waves can be observed as light waves pass from one medium to another and change speed?
diffraction
What cause earthquake waves to change direction as they travel through Earth?
by their boundaries
What property of waves causes bridges to buckle?
Resonance is the property of waves that can cause bridges to buckle. If the frequency of the external forces matches the natural frequency of the bridge, resonance can occur, leading to large amplitude vibrations that can weaken and ultimately damage the structure.
What do prisms drops of water and lenses all cause light waves to do?
They all cause light waves to bend or refract, due to the change in medium. This bending is a result of the change in the speed of light as it enters the material at an angle.
Polarization is a property of?
Polarization is a property of transverse waves.
What property is unique to electromagnetic waves?
One unique property of electromagnetic waves is that they can travel through a vacuum, unlike mechanical waves which require a medium for propagation.
Is polarization a property of transverse waves longiudinal waves or both?
both
What is the usual result of very large waves?
Very large waves, such as tsunamis, can result in flooding, destruction of coastal areas, and loss of life and property. They can also cause erosion of beaches and coastal structures.
What happens when the objects in the way of the waves move?
When objects in the way of waves move, the waves can be blocked or absorbed by the objects. This can cause the waves to change direction, scatter, or reflect off the moving objects. The movement of the objects can also affect the amplitude and wavelength of the waves.
