What happens to the speed of sound waves as it travels from a less dense medium to a denser one?
The speed of sound is affected by a number of factors. It does not travel in a vacuum i.e. in the vacuum of space no one can hear you scream! - From the movie Alien.
Sound requires a medium in which to travel. The speed of sound is determined by the density (ρ) and compressibility (K) of the medium. Normally the denser the material the slower sound will travel. A notable exception is water. Water is denser than air but is almost incompressible; therefore sounds travels faster through water than air.it can be affected by temperature.

When a wave travels from a denser medium to a less dense medium what happens to its frequency?
The frequency of the wave remains the same when it travels from a denser to a less dense medium. However, the wave will change its speed and wavelength.
Why the ray of light bends away normal or towards normal when it passes from one medium to another?
When light travels from a less dense medium to a denser medium, it bends towards the normal. This is because light slows down in a denser medium, causing it to change direction. When light travels from a denser medium to a less dense medium, it bends away from the normal as it speeds up in the less dense medium.
In which situation would the angle of refraction bend toward the normal?
The angle of refraction bends toward the normal when light travels from a less dense medium to a more dense medium, like from air to glass. This happens because the speed of light is slower in the denser medium, causing the light waves to refract towards the normal line.
When light travels into a dense material it bends away from the normal.?
Yes, this phenomenon is called refraction. When light enters a denser medium from a less dense medium, it slows down and changes direction, bending towards the normal.
Is it possible to achieve total internal reflection if the object is in rarer medium?
First we should know what will be happen when the light ray goes from denser medium to rarer medium and rarer medium to denser mdeium.... 1. The light refracted away from the normal (Denser to Rarer) 2. The light refracted towards the normal (Rarer to denser) So it is not possibel to get total internal reflection whan the light travel from rarer to denser medium...... Conditions to achieve to get TIR 1. The light should travel from denser mediumt to rarer medium 2. The angle of incidence at the interface should be greater than critical angle if you are not satisfied kindly mail me cramkum@gmail.com

Is the angle of incidence is greater than the angle of refraction when light passes from a less dense to denser medium?
If you meant optical density by the term 'denser ' Then the answer is.... The light bends towards normal when it travels from a optically less dense medium to optically dense medium. So angle of incidence is greater than the angle of refraction
What happens to a ray of light when it travels from a dense medium to a less dense medium?
-- Its speed becomes less in the denser medium. -- Its wavelength becomes greater in the denser medium. -- If its direction is not perpendicular to the boundary between the media, then its path in the denser medium is closer to the perpendicular. (This is 'refraction'.)

When does total internal refraction happen?
Total internal reflection occurs when light travels from a denser medium to a less dense medium at an angle exceeding the critical angle. This phenomenon causes the light to reflect back into the denser medium instead of refracting out of it. Total internal reflection is commonly observed in optical fibers and mirages.
When a wave passes from a less dense medium to a denser one most of the wave energy is?
When a wave passes from a less dense medium to a denser one, most of the wave energy is answer is reflected FALSE
What happens to particles in a medium when sound energy travels through it?
slows down in denser mediums & speeds up in less dense ones this explains why ur voice is so high pitched when u inhale a less dense gas like helium & why sound is deep & distorted underwater.
What does less dense and denser medium mean?
A less dense medium refers to a substance that has fewer particles or less mass per unit volume compared to another medium. Conversely, a denser medium has more particles or more mass per unit volume. Light travels faster in a less dense medium and slower in a denser medium.
The denser the medium through which it is traveling the slower a what wave propagates?
Electromagnetic wave, namely, light as it travels through denser medium its speed decreases from its speed when it travels through air or vacuum.
