1.) The properties of a wave are the following.
a) <span><span>Amplitude - the height of the wave, measured in meters.
</span><span>b) Wavelength - the distance between adjacent crests, measured in meters.
</span><span>c) Period - the time it takes for one complete wave to pass a given point, measured in seconds.
</span><span>d) Frequency - the number of complete waves that pass a point in one second, measured in inverse seconds, or Hertz (Hz).
</span><span>e) Speed - the horizontal speed of a point on a wave as it propagates, measured in meters / second.

Among these properties, PERIOD and SPEED changes if the wave changes media. The others remain the same.

2. Speed = Wavelength * Frequency
    Wavelength and Frequency are independent from each other. But you can use the given formula and assume values to check the reaction of one from another.

3. Energy of a wave is based on its amplitude. High amplitude means high energy and vice versa. To increase the energy of a wave, the amplitude must be increased. Another way of increasing the energy of a wave is using elastic medium. </span></span>

Which of the following is not an example of convection? Warm air rising from heated pavement The rolling motion of boiling water
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer: The handle of a frying pan on the stove

Explanation: Convection is the heat transfer done by the movement of a fluid, or the molecules on it. This can happen by the change on density from fluids, when a fluid tempeture rise, it expands, rising his volumen and decreasing his density. When this happens the fluid becomes lighter, so it moves.

The handle of a frying pan gets hotter but no molecular movement is done. It is between the same material there is a energy transfer from the source to the rest of the pan. This is called Conduction.

How do you know the speed of an electromagnetic wave in a vacuum?
ycow [4]
Electromagnetic waves need no matter to travel - they can travel through empty space (a vacuum). In a vacuum, all electromagnetic waves travel at approximately 3 x 108 m/s - which is the fastest speed possible. ...
Light traveling value through an optical Fibre is, 2 x 108 m/s. Hope that helps.
