How does the medium effect the speed of a wave?

3. Frequency
The frequency of a wave is the number of wavelengths that pass by a point each second.
Frequency is related to how rapidly the object or material producing the wave vibrates.
Each vibration of the object produces one wavelength.

5. Wave Speed Different types of waves travel at different speeds.
The same type of waves travel at different speeds in different materials.
Temperature also affects the speed at which waves travel.

6. Wave Speed
You can calculate the speed of a wave by multiplying its wavelength and its frequency together.
Wave speed = Frequency x Wavelength
