6.P.1 (1.1, 1.2, & 1.3) Waves, Sound, & Light Waves (2)

Front

Which of these factors affects how fast a sound wave moves?

• the kind of material it is moving through
• the amplitude of the sound wave’s vibrations
• the wavelength of the disturbance in the medium
• the type of motion that caused the sound wave to form

Back

the kind of material it is moving through

Front

What do waves carry through objects?

Back

energy

Front

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

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

What causes a seismic wave?

Back

sudden breaking of rock as it releases potential energy

Front

Why does sound travel faster through a solid object than in the air? Options: The atoms in the solid object are farther apart than the atoms in the air. The atoms in the solid object are closer together than the atoms in the air. The atoms are smaller in the solid object than the atoms in the air. The atoms are larger in the solid object than the atoms in the air.

Back

The atoms in the solid object are closer together than the atoms in the air.

Front

Back

Visible light is a narrow band in the electromagnetic spectrum.

Front

Light waves are arranged in the electromagnetic spectrum by:

Back

wavelength and frequency.
