How does the speed of waves behave when they move from one medium to another?

Physics

jekas [21]4 years ago

It is simple. The higher the density, the slower the wave. If you are talking about waves that are on the Electromagnetic Spectrum (radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, x-rays, gamma rays), then the speed in a vacuum is the same as the speed in the air. A solid is more dense than a liquid, so the wave will travel slower through a solid, and then vice-versa.

Hope this helps buddy :-)

What layer of atmosphere does planes fly?
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer: stratosphere

The stratosphere is the second to last layer of atmosphere to the Earth. It is about 40,000 feet above, and this is the range where planes fly. So, the answer is stratosphere.

Hope this helps!

During a visit to the beach, you get in a small rubber raft and paddle out beyond the surf zone. Tiring, you stop and take a res
Monica [59]

Answer:

The main difference in these two movements is that the first is a pure swing movement and the followed form a wave travels from the beach

Explanation:

The movement in the two parts is very different, when the surf zone has passed it is in a deeper part of the water where the seabed does not rise much, therefore due to the movement of the waves there is an upward oscillatory movement and descending, in this movement there is no horizontal displacement.

When it is within the southern zone, there is a rapid rise of the sea floor, which generates a horizontal movement, having a traveling wave, therefore your movement is more complicated, you can have some oscillating movement on the axis and, but in addition to this you have a horizontal movement that reaches you towards the beach, forming a Traveling wave.

The main difference in these two movements is that the first is a pure swing movement and the followed form a wave travels from the beach

Compare and contrast the lithosphere and the asthenosphere(3 different 2 similarities)
worty [1.4K]
Before comparing and contrasting these layers of Earth, we first define what lithosphere and asthenosphere are. 

Lithosphere primarily consists of the outermost layers of the Earth, which are the crust and the uppermost portion of the mantle. Simply, the ground you stepped on is part of earth's lithosphere. On the other hand, asthenosphere comprises of hot and partially molten rock just located at the upper portion of the mantle but just below the lithosphere. Both have similarities and differences, which are as follows:

SIMILARITIES:
- Both are the passageways of earthquakes P-waves (Primary waves) just before it reaches the earth's surface.
- Both are made of the same material (Silicon oxide rocks, which are rich in iron and magnesium)

DIFFERENCES:
- Rocks in lithosphere can bend (it deforms, resulting in fault formations), however, rocks in the asthenosphere, not only bend but also flow (plastic in nature).
- Lithosphere has relatively low temperatures compared to asthenosphere.
- Due to its depth, pressure against rocks in asthenosphere is comparatively higher compared to lithosphere.
