Front

Which factor affects how fast a sound wave moves?

Back

the kind of material it is moving through

Front

What caused the crayon to melt when placed on a dark driveway in bright sunlight?

Back

Solar radiation heated the driveway and then heat transferred to the crayon by conduction.

Front

What do waves carry through objects?

Back

energy

Front

The illustration shows a transverse wave. Which bar measures the wavelength of the wave? Options: W, X, Y, Z

Back

Y

Front

How do the wave characteristics compare for sound waves, P-waves, and light waves?

Back

Sound waves and P-waves are longitudinal waves, while light waves are transverse waves.

Front

What happens when potential energy is released during an earthquake?

Back

It generates seismic waves that spread out in all directions around Earth.

Front

This is a wave pattern diagram for two transverse waves. How do the waves compare? Options: Both waves have the same frequency. Both waves have the same wavelength. Wave 1 has a longer wavelength than Wave 2. Wave 1 has a higher frequency than Wave 2.

Back

Wave 1 has a longer wavelength than Wave 2.

Front

Look at this illustration of a wave. Which points on the wave are the trough and the crest? Options: Point W, Point Y, Point X, Point Z.

Back

Point Y is a trough; Point W is a crest.

Front

How does a sound wave travel through air?

Back

The wave carries energy that causes molecules to move back and forth.

Front

What causes a seismic wave?

Back

sudden breaking of rock as it releases potential energy
