Study Guide Overview
This study guide covers wave behavior at boundaries, including transmission, reflection, and polarization. It explains how these phenomena affect wave speed, orientation, and intensity. The guide also discusses the impact of polarization on transverse waves and wave intensity calculations. Finally, it addresses the relationship between wave properties, boundary properties, and wave speed in different media.

Question 1 of 8
A wave travels from one medium to another. What primarily determines whether the wave will be transmitted, reflected, or both? 🌊
The wave's frequency
The wave's amplitude
The properties of the boundary separating the two media
The wave's initial direction of travel
