When a wave moves through a denser medium, its speed decreases while its frequency remains constant. The wave will also experience refraction, causing it to change direction as it enters the denser medium. Additionally, the wavelength of the wave will shorten as it moves into the denser medium.
a denser medium hav more no.of particles also > the no.of particles > the opposition provided for..... therefore both wavelength and speed of light changes but frequency remains the same.
When a wave moves through a medium, the particles of the medium oscillate back and forth in the direction of the wave's travel. The energy of the wave is transferred through the medium without causing a net movement of the medium itself.
When a light ray moves from a less dense medium to a denser medium, it bends towards the normal. This bending is due to the decrease in speed of light in the denser medium, causing the light wave to change direction. The angle of refraction is smaller than the angle of incidence in this scenario.
Most of the wave energy is reflected back into the denser medium when a wave moves from a dense medium to a less dense medium.
The speed of a wave is determined by the medium it is traveling through and the properties of that medium, such as its density and elasticity. In general, the speed of a wave is faster in a more rigid and less dense medium, and slower in a less rigid and denser medium.

When a light ray moves from a less dense medium to a denser medium, it bends towards the normal. This bending is due to the decrease in speed of light in the denser medium, causing the light wave to change direction. The angle of refraction is smaller than the angle of incidence in this scenario.
The direction in which a ray bends depends on the medium it is passing through and the angle of incidence. If a ray travels from a less dense medium to a denser medium, it will bend towards the normal line. Conversely, if it moves from a denser medium to a less dense medium, it will bend away from the normal. This phenomenon is governed by Snell's Law.

As a wave moves through a medium, the particles within the medium oscillate or vibrate in the direction of the wave propagation. Energy is transferred from one particle to the next, causing a wave pattern to propagate through the medium without the actual particles themselves moving along with the wave.
No. Sound moves faster in a denser medium and the colder the air is the denser it is.
The speed of light decreases when it travels from air into glass because the glass has a higher refractive index than air. This causes the light to slow down as it moves through the denser medium.
When a wave moves from a less dense medium to a denser one, it undergoes refraction due to the change in speed caused by the difference in the two mediums’ densities. This results in most of the wave energy being transmitted into the denser medium, causing the wave to change direction.
The speed of a wave through its medium is determined by the medium's properties, such as its density and elasticity. In general, denser and more elastic mediums propagate waves faster. This speed is also influenced by the wavelength and frequency of the wave.
