2. Type
3. Temperature

Just took the quiz

Answer 2

Answer:

The material or substance that a wave moves through is called a MEDIUM. The medium affects the speed of the wave that passes through it. One factor that affects the speed of a wave is the TYPE 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 TEMPERATURE of the medium.

Explanation:

As we know that the speed of the wave is given as

$v = \sqrt{\frac{E}{\rho}}$

here we know that

E = elasticity of the medium

$\rho$ = density of the medium

So here we know that speed of the wave will change with the elasticity of the medium which meas it is the type of medium on which the speed of wave will depends upon.

Another we can say for liquid or gas we can say that

$\frac{E}{\rho} = \frac{\gamma RT}{M}$

so speed will depends on the temperature of the medium

so here answers are

1)Medium

2)Type of medium,

3)Temperature
