How does a change in speed cause a wave to change in direction?
I learned this in Physics Class. Cartier was designated on December 16th 1788.
Is it true that Velocity is the speed of the wave?
In common language, the terms "velocity" and "speed" are used interchangeably. In physics, "velocity" is a vector, and "speed" is not - meaning that when the word "velocity" is used, it specifies not just how fast something moves, but also in what direction.
What do we call a speed at which a wave travels?
I would call it "the speed of the wave".
How does wave speed relate to wavelength and period?
Wave speed = (wavelength)/(period)
What is the correlation between wavelengths and frequency?
Wavelength = wave speed/frequency Frequency = wave speed/wavelength (Wavelength) x (Frequency) = Wave speed
Is the speed of a physics wave influenced by the type of matter it travels through?
Generally , all waves that are studied in physics are affected by the type of matter they travel thru.

Which waves travel the fastest?
The light wave, which is electromagnetic energy, is the fastest wave. The speed of light, which is a physics constant, is the speed of light in a vacuum, and no object with mass can be accelerated to this speed.
What kind of wave is speed?
Speed is not a wave.
Is it true that Velocity is the speed of the wave?

How do you find the wavelength from wave speed?
draw a triangle and make 3 areas in the triangle. on the top is S or Speed. on the bottom left is F or Frequency. and on the bottom right is a bckwards/upside down Y for Wavelength. then S divided by For Y. and F times Y. will get you wavelength and what you need. draw what i just said.
The speed at which the wave crests move is the?
... wave's speed of propagation.
What wave property affects the speed of a wave?
Both the wavelength and the frequency of a wave affect the speed of a wave.
What determines the frequency of electromagnetic waves?
An EM wave is caused by an energy source, such as something as big as a supernova or something as small as an electron changing in speed. I would say the change in the energy level of the energetic particle that causes the wave determines the frequency of the wave. +++ Whilst you may be right about the quantum physics, the frequency of the wave is that of the energy source, be it in a star or a radio transmitter, driving it.
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 is the formula for finding the frequency of a wave?
The wavelength of a wave is calculated using the formula: Wavelength = speed of the wave divided by the frequency of the wave. For radio waves and other wireless signals as well as the speed a signal travels along a wire, the speed of the wave is approximately 299,792,458 meters per second (the speed of light).
What is the speed at which a wave travels through a medium called?
wave speed
