What happens to the distance between waves (wavelength) when light passes through different mediums?
When light passes through different mediums, such as air, water, or glass, the distance between waves (wavelength) can change. This is because the speed of light varies in different mediums, causing the wavelength to either increase or decrease.
What happens to the wavelength of the wave as it passes into Medium 2?
The wavelength of the wave can change as it passes into Medium 2, depending on the refractive indices of the mediums. If the wave enters a medium with a higher refractive index, the wavelength will decrease. If it enters a medium with a lower refractive index, the wavelength will increase.
A floating object oscillates up and down 2 complete cycles in 1 second as a water wave of wavelength 5 m passes by The speed of the wave is?
Just use the relationship: speed (of the wave) = frequency x wavelength. If the frequency is in hertz (cycles/second), and the wavelength in meters, then of course the speed will be in meters/second.
An ocean wave has a length of 12.0 m A wave passes a fixed location every 3.0 seconds What is the speed of the wave?
Speed = (wavelength) x (frequency) = (12) x (1/3) = 4 meters per second
When the frequency and wavelength are known answerer?
Frequency refers to how many waves pass a fixed point in a unit of time. Frequency is measured in Hertz, or Hz, and one Hertz means a single wave passes a given fixed point in one second. Wavelength refers to the length of an entire wave, so either from crest to crest or trough to trough. If you know how many waves pass a given point in a unit of time, which is frequency, and how long the waves are, which is wavelength, you can find the wave's speed. For example, if a wave has a frequency of 10 Hz, so ten waves pass a given point in a second, and it has a wavelength of four meters, you multiply the frequency by the wavelength to find that the waves are traveling at 40 meters per second.

What moves in waves?
The particles of the medium move up and down as the wave passes. The crests and troughs of the waves move with the wave.

Just use the relationship: speed (of the wave) = frequency x wavelength. If the frequency is in hertz (cycles/second), and the wavelength in meters, then of course the speed will be in meters/second.
What happens to the velocity and wavelength of light when it passes from air into water?
The speed of the light decreases, and its wavelength increases by the same factor.

Which characteristic of a light wave must increase as the light wave passes from glass into air?
The wavelength of the light wave must increase as it passes from glass into air. This is because light travels faster in air than in glass, causing the wavelength to stretch out as the wave exits the denser medium.
When a sound wave passes from air into water do you expect the frequency wavelength to change?
The speed of the wave increases, the frequency remains constant and the wavelength increases. The angle of the wave also changes.
What happens to frequency when a ray of light passes from air to water?
The frequency of light remains constant when passing from air to water. However, the speed of light changes due to the change in the medium, causing the wavelength to change. This change in wavelength results in the light bending or refracting at the interface between air and water.
How does the phenomenon of wavelength diffraction affect the behavior of light as it passes through a narrow slit?
When light passes through a narrow slit, the phenomenon of wavelength diffraction causes the light waves to spread out and interfere with each other. This results in a pattern of alternating bright and dark fringes on a screen placed behind the slit. The width of the slit and the wavelength of the light determine the spacing of these fringes.
What would be the wavelength if the violet ray passes through diamond?
The wavelength of a violet ray in vacuum is 400nm. The refractive index of diamond is about 2.42. Using the formula λ'=λ/n where λ' is the wavelength of the ray in a material, λ is the wavelength in vacuum and n is the refractive index of the material, we get λ'=165nm.
