Front

What happens to the speed of light waves when the density of the substance they are traveling through increases?

Back

The speed of light waves decreases when the density of the substance increases.

Front

What type of waves require a medium to travel through?

Back

Sound waves require a medium to travel through.

Front

As the wavelength increases, what happens to the frequency?
