Question 18 • 25-26 TX-Physics B-CR

What factors affect the speed of a wave? Check all that apply.the amplitude of the wavethe energy of the wavethe temperature of the mediumthe type of wavethe type of medium

Answer
A
the amplitude of the wave
B
the energy of the wave
C
the temperature of the medium
D
the type of wave
E
the type of medium

Explanation

Wave speed depends on the properties of the medium and on the kind of wave traveling through it. Temperature can change a medium’s properties—for example, sound generally travels faster in warmer air. Changing a wave’s amplitude or energy does not, by itself, change its speed.
