A harmonic may be described by a sine function graphically, and the components of a wave (amplitude, frequency etc...) may be described by their corresponding physics formulas.

How does the speed of a wave relate to the density of the medium it is traveling through?

The speed of a wave is inversely proportional to the square root of the density of the medium it is traveling through. As the density of the medium increases, the speed of the wave decreases. This relationship is described by the wave equation, which takes into account the elasticity and inertia of the medium.


Sound waves are longitudinal waves why?

For a sound wave traveling through air, the vibrations of the particles are best described as longitudinal.


In what direction is the wave traveling?

What is the relationship between the two velocities in a traveling wave?

In a traveling wave, the relationship between the two velocities is that the wave velocity is equal to the product of the wavelength and the frequency of the wave.


What is the difference between a standing wave and a traveling wave?

A standing wave is a wave that appears to be stationary and does not move through a medium, while a traveling wave is a wave that moves through a medium from one point to another.
