The speed of a wave alters "when the wave comes into contact with a different medium." This is because the properties of the medium (such as density and elasticity) can affect the velocity 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?
