Sound . . .
direct the sound into a less-dense medium. Its frequency remains constant but
its speed decreases, so its wavelength increases.
Light . . .
direct the light into a medium with a higher refractive index. Its frequency remains
constant but its speed decreases, so its wavelength increases.

A wave that requires a medium to travel?
A mechanical wave such as a sound wave requires a medium to travel through.
In this type of wave wave particles of the medium?
No, particles of the medium do not become part of the wave
What will change the velocity of a periodic wave?
Changing the medium of the wave
Does a transverse wave move a medium?
In this type of wave, the medium moves perpendicularly to the direction of the wave.
The medium of a wave is?
The medium of a wave is the matter a wave travels through.So yeah, if you wiggle a rope, the medium isn't the air around the rope... the medium is the rope itself!
What are the three types electromagnetic spectrums?
-- Long-wave radiation -- Medium-wave radiation -- Short-wave radiation
If the wave requires a medium then the wave is classified as a?
If the wave requires a medium then it is a mechanical wave.
A wave that requires a medium to travel?
A mechanical wave such as a sound wave requires a medium to travel through.
What is the heating effect of a medium that is transparent to the short wave length radiation of sunlight but opaque to the long wave terrestrial radiation?
ultraviolet rays
The Speed of a wave in a medium?
It depends on what type of wave and in which medium.
In this type of wave wave particles of the medium?
No, particles of the medium do not become part of the wave
What will change the velocity of a periodic wave?
Changing the medium of the wave
Does a transverse wave move a medium?
In this type of wave, the medium moves perpendicularly to the direction of the wave.
The disappearance of a wave into a medium?
The disappearance of a wave into a medium is called absorption.
The medium of a wave is?
The medium of a wave is the matter a wave travels through.So yeah, if you wiggle a rope, the medium isn't the air around the rope... the medium is the rope itself!
Medium for the wave?
The medium of any wave is the material that the wave energy travels through; in this case water.
Why does a mechanical wave need a medium?
medium is the matter a wave trvels through
