Answer:

The medium determines the speed of the wave, the wavelength and frequency.

Explanation:For different media the speed of the wave will variate, because each media have different properties. The following equation makes a relation between the speed of the wave, the wavelength and the frequency:

v = \lambda.\nu (1)

Where v is the speed of the wave, \lambda is the wavelength and \nu is the frequency

Equation 1 shows that the speed of the wave is directly proportional to the product of the wavelength and the frequency. If the speed is lower the wavelength will decrease but the frequency increase, as is shown in equation 2:

\lambda = \frac{v}{\nu}   (2)

Equation 1 can be rewritten for the case of the frequency:

\nu = \frac{v}{\lambda}     (3)

So, according with equation 3, if the speed is higher the frequency will increase but the wavelength will decrease (inversely proportional).

Why we don’t feel atmospheric pressure?
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

The reason we can't feel it is that the air within our bodies (in our lungs and stomachs, for example) is exerting the same pressure outwards, so there's no pressure difference and no need for us to exert any effort.
