Waves, especially during severe storms, erode shorelines by washing away sand, rocks and soil.

Can all waves be changed?

Yes all waves change.


What is the property of waves that cause the change?

It is the possibility to allow a change that makes it possible to have waves in the first place.


How does a change in speed cause a change in direction?

The what of waves can change when the waves move from one medium to another?

The speed of waves can change when they move from one medium to another. This change in speed occurs due to the difference in the medium's properties, such as density or elasticity, which affects how the waves travel through it.


What would cause wavelengths to change?

A change in the medium through which the waves are traveling, like a change in density or temperature, can cause wavelengths to change. Also, the Doppler effect can cause the perceived wavelengths of waves to change when the source of the waves is in motion relative to the observer.


Why do seismic waves change speed?

"True, the Seismic Waves change speed and direction when they encounter different materials."


What is the apparent change in the frequency of waves?

The apparent change in frequency of waves is known as the Doppler effect. It occurs when there is relative motion between the source of the waves and the observer, causing a shift in the perceived frequency of the waves. This effect is commonly observed with sound waves and light waves.


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 travel from one medium to another what does not change?

The character frequency would never change


What direction do waves changes?

Waves change direction when they encounter a change in medium or boundary that causes them to refract or reflect. Refraction occurs when waves change speed as they move from one medium to another, causing them to bend. Reflection occurs when waves bounce off a boundary, changing direction.


When light waves slow down do they change direction?

When light waves slow down as they travel from one medium to another, such as from air to glass, they do change direction. This change in direction is called refraction and occurs due to the change in speed of the light waves in the new medium.


What happens to the path of waves when they travel from air to water, and why does this change occur?

When waves travel from air to water, they change direction and speed. This change occurs because the speed of waves is determined by the medium they are traveling through, and water is denser than air, causing the waves to slow down and bend.
