It is determined by the mechanism that propagates the wave, and the properties of the medium that carry out the propagation.

Does the amplitude affect on the wavelength or wave speed?

No, the amplitude of a wave does not affect the wavelength or wave speed. The wavelength is determined by the frequency of the wave, while the wave speed is determined by the medium through which the wave is traveling. Amplitude simply represents the maximum displacement of particles in the wave.


The pitch of a sound is determined by its wavelength and speed together or its alone?

The pitch of a sound can be determined by its frequencyalone.


How can you lower the pitch of a note on a quitar by altering then tension of the string?

The pitch is determined by by the frequency in which the string is swinging, which, in turn, is determined by the speed with which a wave can travel through the string. The higher the tension in the string is, the easier it is for a wave to travel through it, and if the speed of the wave increase, so will the frequency, and by default the pitch of the note. And vice versa. If I remember my physics correctly :)


Does the color of the laser affect the velocity of the light wave projected by the laser?

No, velocity and color are independent. Color is determined by frequency, and speed is determined by what material the light is traveling through.


What kind of wave is speed?

Speed is not a wave.


What term refers to the distance a wave travels in a cycle?

The distance a wave goes in a single cycle is determined by a few things. The most important is the frequency, or how many cycles are in a second. The speed of a wave is also important, as it is independent from the frequency.

The speed at which the wave crests move is the?

... wave's speed of propagation.


What wave property affects the speed of a wave?

Both the wavelength and the frequency of a wave affect the speed of a wave.


What is the formula for finding the frequency of a wave?

The wavelength of a wave is calculated using the formula: Wavelength = speed of the wave divided by the frequency of the wave. For radio waves and other wireless signals as well as the speed a signal travels along a wire, the speed of the wave is approximately 299,792,458 meters per second (the speed of light).
