Electromagnetic waves slow down or change direction?
Electromagnetic waves are produced by the acceleration of an electric charge. Electromagnetic waves have the same speed in a vacuum (or space). They can slow down and change direction.
What are the kinds of motion according to the change in direction and change in speed?
Acceleration is a change in speed or direction. Velocity is the speed and direction. ex. 41 mph northeast
What are the 4 characteristics of waves?
amplitude, frequency, direction, speed
What is it called when a wave goes from one medium to another and it changes speed and direction?
The change in direction is called refraction.
Higher speeds require more space for a maneuver?
Yes, at high speed it takes longer to change your direction, for example.Yes, at high speed it takes longer to change your direction, for example.Yes, at high speed it takes longer to change your direction, for example.Yes, at high speed it takes longer to change your direction, for example.
Why do seismic waves change speed?
"True, the Seismic Waves change speed and direction when they encounter different materials."
How does a change in speed cause a change in direction?
newton's

What change speed and direction depending on the density and materiel they travel through?
Waves.
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.
When waves change speed when moving from one medium to another?
Then, if they don't arrive from the direction perpendicular to the interface, they are refracted.
What are the kinds of motion according to the change in direction and change in speed?
Acceleration is a change in speed or direction. Velocity is the speed and direction. ex. 41 mph northeast
Is this statement true or false sesmic waves change speed and direction when they encounter different materials?
Yes it is true to a certain extent.
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.
What are the 4 characteristics of waves?
amplitude, frequency, direction, speed
Why does a change of speed produce a change in direction?
It doesn't. For example, you can go in a straight line, and speed up or slow down, without changing direction. And if there is both a change in direction and a change in speed, the change of speed wouldn't be the CAUSE for a change in direction. (On the other hand, both can be caused by a force applied to an object.)
