Answer 1

Velocity and Wavelength

Step-by-step explanation:

I got an A on the test. and your welcome.

Answer 2

Answer;

A. velocity and wavelength

Explanation;

• When a wave travels from one medium to another it undergoes refraction which results to the change in direction.
• Refraction of a wave is one of the property of waves that occurs when a wave changes direction when it passes from one medium to another. This occurs as a result of bending of the wave which occurs since the mediums involved are of different density and refractive index.
• Apart from the change in direction, refraction is accompanied by the change in wavelength of a wave and thus a change in speed.
