Respuesta :
1) The period of the wave is the same in all media
2) The speed of the wave is different depending on the medium
3) The speed, the direction and the wavelength of the wave changes, while the frequency remains the same
Explanation:
1)
The period of a wave is the time it takes for the wave to do one complete oscillation.
The period of a wave is the reciprocal of the frequency of the wave:
[tex]T=\frac{1}{f}[/tex]
where
T is the period
f is the frequency
From the table given, we notice that the wave has always the same frequency in all the three media: since the period depends only on the frequency, this means that the period of the wave in the three media is the same. We can also calculate it, since we know that
f = 350 Hz
so the period is
[tex]T=\frac{1}{350}=2.86\cdot 10^{-3} s = 2.86 ms[/tex]
2)
The speed of a wave is given by the wave equation:
[tex]v=f \lambda[/tex]
where
f is the frequency
[tex]\lambda[/tex] is the wavelength
In the first medium,
[tex]f=350 Hz, \lambda = 0.75 m[/tex], so the speed is
[tex]v_1 = (350)(0.75)=262.5 m/s[/tex]
In the second medium,
[tex]f=350 Hz, \lambda = 0.70 m[/tex], so the speed is
[tex]v_2 = (350)(0.70)=245 m/s[/tex]
In the third medium,
[tex]f=350 Hz, \lambda = 0.65 m[/tex], so the speed is
[tex]v_3 = (350)(0.65)=227.5 m/s[/tex]
Therefore, we see that the speed of the wave is different due to the medium.
3)
When a wave travels from a medium into another, the following things happen:
- The direction of the wave changes. In particular, the wave bends towards the normal to the interface between the two media if the second medium has a greater optical density, while it bends away from the normal if the second medium has a lower optical density
- The speed of the wave changes. In particular, the wave slows down if the second medium has a greater optical density, while it speeds up if the second medium has a lower optical density
- The frequency of the wave does not change
- Finally, the wavelength of the wave changes. In particular, the wavelength decreases if the second medium has a greater optical density, while it increases if the second medium has a lower optical density.

When a wave moves in a medium that has higher optical density, the direction, and speed decrease. Wavelength is the distance between two crests or troughs.
What is wavelength?
Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive crests or troughs. It is measured in meters.
- A) Since the period depends only upon the frequency, therefore the period of the wave will remain the same for all mediums.
- B) The speed of the wave is the product of the wavelength and the frequency. Since the wavelength is different in each medium, the speed will be different for each medium.
- C) The direction and speed decrease as the wave enters into the medium that has higher optical density.
Therefore, when a wave moves in a medium that has higher optical density, the direction, and speed decrease.
