Because of albert einsteins theory, he shows that by trying to change the speed of a wave is impossible, unless you can change the wavelength of the wave since the frequency is unchangeable.

How does energy and speed relate?

The speed of a wave is a property of the medium, changing the speed would need a change in the medium itself. If the medium doesn't change as a wave moves, the wave speed is steady. Formula: Speed = distance divided by time


Does the wave speed change in the Doppler effect?

Yes, the Doppler effect defines the change in speed of a sound wave due to motion. As I recall, the Doppler Effect is a change in the frequency of a wave, not its speed. Yep, I'm pretty sure Doppler is a frequency change, not a speed of sound change.

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.


When waves travelling from one medium to another medium its speed changeswhy?

The speed of a mechanical wave depends on the mechanical properties of the medium. When the mechanical properties of the medium change, the speed of the mechanical wave changes as a result. The speed of an electromagnetic wave depends on the electrical properties of the medium. When the electrical properties of the medium change, the speed of the electromagnetic wave changes as a result.

If the bug in the demonstration moves forward does the speed of the waves change. What does change?

The speed of the wave stays same but the frequency change due to motion.


How does the speed of the tsunami wave change as it approaches the shore?

The wave would slow down as it approaches the shore.


How does the speed of tsunami wave change as it approaches the shore?

The wave would slow down as it approaches the shore.


When a wave slows down what property of the wave is affected?

The speed. Also, the wavelength, since the speed is equal to wavelength x frequency, and the frequency will normally NOT change.
