When a seismic wave crosses a boundary it will change directions in what process?
Refraction
What is the bending of a wave as it enters a new material called?
The bending of a wave as it enters a new material is called refraction. This phenomenon occurs due to a change in the wave's speed as it moves from one medium to another, causing the wave to change direction.
When a seismic wave crosses a boundary it will change directions in the process of?
When a seismic wave crosses a boundary between different materials, it may undergo reflection, refraction, or diffraction. Reflection occurs when the wave bounces off the boundary, while refraction causes the wave to change speed and bend as it enters a different material. Diffraction causes the wave to spread out as it encounters an obstacle or edge.
What determines wave speed?
Wave speed is determined by the medium through which the wave travels and the properties of that medium, such as density and elasticity. In general, waves travel faster through stiffer and denser mediums. The wavelength and frequency of the wave also play a role in determining its speed.
Two ways to determine wave speed?
you can determine it by the wavelenght and the period of the wave and the frequencey
When wave changes directions when its speed changes what is it called?
It's called refraction.
What is it called when wave changes directions when its speed changes?
It's called refraction.
What is it called when a wave suddenly changes directions it passes from one material to on other?
Refraction phenomenon Typically, the change in wave speed in the material causes the change in direction.
When a wave changes direction as it speeds up or slows down its called what?
This is called refraction. Refraction occurs when a wave enters a different medium where its speed changes, causing it to bend.
When a wave changes its speed and wavelength to go into a different materials this is called?
Refraction. Refraction occurs when a wave changes its speed and wavelength as it passes from one medium to another, causing it to bend.
What it called when a wave passes through a substance?
When a wave passes through a substance, it gets transmitted through it. The speed of the wave changes depending on the nature of the substance.
What is it called when a wave changes direction?
When a wave changes direction, it is called reflection, refraction, or diffraction, depending on the specific circumstances. Reflection occurs when a wave bounces off a surface, refraction happens when a wave changes speed as it passes from one medium to another, and diffraction refers to the bending of waves around obstacles or through openings.
Wave bending is called?
Wave bending is called refraction. Refraction occurs when a wave changes direction as it passes from one medium to another at an angle. This change in direction is due to the difference in wave speed between the two mediums.
What is it called when a wave goes from one medium to another and it changes speed and direction?
It is called refraction. Refraction occurs when a wave changes speed and direction as it travels from one medium to another, due to the change in its wave velocity and the change in the medium's optical density.
What is it called when a wave bends going from one medium to another?
When a wave bends as it changes speed and direction when passing from one medium to another, it is called refraction. This phenomenon occurs due to the change in the wave's speed as it enters a medium with a different optical density.
What happens to the speed of a wave when it reflects refracts and diffracts?
When a wave reflects, its speed remains unchanged. When a wave refracts, its speed changes as it moves from one medium to another, affecting its direction. When a wave diffracts, its speed remains constant, but its direction changes as it bends around obstacles.
What is it called when a wave changes direction as it passes from one substance to another at an angle?
It is called refraction. Refraction occurs due to the change in speed of the wave as it moves from one medium to another, causing the wave to bend.
