Question

complete the passage to summarize factors affecting the speed of a wave. the material or substance that a wave moves through is called a. the medium affects the speed of the wave that passes through it. one factor that affects the speed of a wave is the of medium. some waves move faster in solids and some waves move faster in liquids and gases. another factor that affects wave speed is the of the medium.

Explanation:

• The first blank is "medium" as it's the term for the material a wave moves through.
• For the second blank, since waves' speed varies with solid/liquid/gas (states of matter), it's "state".
• Temperature also affects wave speed (e.g., sound in air), so the third blank is "temperature".

Answer:

medium, state, temperature
