Question

what factors affect the speed of a wave? check all that apply. the amplitude of the wave the energy of the wave the temperature of the medium the type of wave the type of medium

Explanation:

• The speed of a wave is affected by the temperature of the medium (e.g., sound waves travel faster in warmer air).
• Different types of waves (e.g., electromagnetic vs. mechanical) have different inherent speed characteristics.
• The type of medium (e.g., solid, liquid, gas) through which the wave travels also impacts its speed (e.g., sound travels faster in solids than in gases).
• The amplitude and energy of the wave do not affect its speed. Amplitude relates to the wave's height/intensity, and energy is related to amplitude but not speed.

Answer:

C. the temperature of the medium, D. the type of wave, E. the type of medium
