If a wave is going from one medium to another, then

A

its frequency change

B

its wavelength does not change

C

its speed does not change

D

its amplitude may change

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
on going for one medium to another, frequency remains the same while wavelength and wave speed, both change, Amplitude may decrease or remain same depending on the fact that wheather there is some absorption of energy at the boundary or not.
