A wave would stop moving when it encounters a boundary that absorbs or reflects its energy, such as a solid wall or dense material. Alternatively, a wave could dissipate and lose energy over time, gradually reducing in amplitude as it travels through a medium with resistance or damping.

If a wave moves a flopping dock up and down several times but then the dock stops moving what happend to the wave?

The wave likely dissipated or passed through the dock, causing it to lose energy and stop moving. Waves can transfer their energy to objects they encounter, eventually diminishing in strength.


Can a moving cricket ball have a wave character?

Yes, a moving cricket ball can exhibit wave properties due to its wave-particle duality as described by quantum mechanics. However, the wave behavior of a cricket ball would be extremely small and undetectable at macroscopic scales.


What if there is no friction would a a moving object stop moving?

If there is no friction, a moving object would continue moving at a constant velocity in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force. Without friction to oppose its motion, the object would not come to a stop on its own.


When the source of a wave is moving relative to an observer of the wave what happens?

If the source of a wave is moving towards the observer, the observer will perceive a higher frequency (blue shift) in the wave. If the source is moving away, the observer will perceive a lower frequency (red shift) in the wave. This is known as the Doppler effect.


What is the change in pitch or wave frequency due to a moving wave source?

When a wave source is moving towards an observer, the pitch or frequency of the wave increases, known as a Doppler shift. This occurs because the waves are reaching the observer at a faster rate due to the source moving closer. Conversely, when the wave source is moving away from the observer, the pitch or frequency decreases.

What is a seismic wave that causes particules of rock to vibrate in the same direction which the wave is moving?

That would be a P-wave or Primary wave which is a longitudinal seismic wave.


What is it called when a wave stops moving?

Waves don't stop in the same sense that physical objects stop. Rather, the wave is attenuated (due to propagation and phenomena such as dispersion, scattering, and absorption). The movement of the wave is essentially never stopped though, it simply has a decreasing average displacement (eventually becoming immeasurable compared to background movement).


If a wave is moving at a constant speed and the wavelength is doubled what will happen to the frequency?

IF a wave moving at a constant speed were to have it's wavelength doubled (Wavelength x 2), then the frequency of the wave would be half of what it originally was (Frequency / 2).
