The speed of a wave alters when the wave comes into contact with a different medium. The speed of a wave is dependent on the properties of the medium it is traveling through, such as density and elasticity. In contrast, changes in mass, amplitude, or reflection do not inherently change the speed of the wave.
Melissa is studying the distinct characteristics of waves and has discovered that when the wavelength of a wave increases, the frequency decreases. In what circumstance does the speed of a wave alter?
