Multiple Choice

What is the definition reflection?

1


The bending of waves as they enter a new medium

2

The bending of waves as they pass through openings or around corners

3


Bouncing back of waves from a surface that it can’t pass through

4

When two interfering waves have a displacement in the same direction, two crests and two troughs overlap. Increased amplitude.

7

The angle of incidence (angle coming in) is going to be equal to the angle of reflection (angle going out) - Law of Reflection

Reflection
is the bouncing back of a ray of light, sound, or heat when the ray hits a surface it doesn't go through.

Refraction depends upon density of medium.

Greater densities mean greater refraction (ie. more bending

Refraction
when a wave changes direction (& speed) as it passes from one medium into another

media

10

What happens to the ray as it enters the water with less of an angle?

Refraction

media

11

is when a wave bends around an object or passes through an opening.

Diffraction

12

Constructive Interference

interference that occurs at any location along the medium where the two interfering waves have a displacement in the same direction​

media

13

Destructive Interference

interference that occurs at any location along the medium where the two interfering waves have a displacement in the opposite direction​

Absorption
The transfer of energy from a wave to a medium. The wave then transfers its energy to the object.

Standing Waves: Interference
when two overlapping waves traveling in opposite direction have the same frequency

Points that have no displacement Nodes
Larger, moving displacements Antinodes

22

Resonance
is a phenomenon that occurs when a vibrating object causes another object to vibrate at a higher amplitude.

23

The illustration shows a light ray striking an object. In the illustration, the light ray striking the object is

1

absorbed

2

stopped

3

reflected

4

refracted

Multiple Choice

Question image

A student placed a pencil in a cup of water.  The pencil appears broken because light-

1

always travels in a straight line

2

makes the water in the glass evaporate

3

bends when it passes through water

4

reflects the pencil on the water's surface

25

​Doppler Effect

26

media

apparent increase in frequency for observers as the source approaches/moves closer to observer

apparent decrease in frequency for observers as the source recedes/moves away from observer

​Doppler Effect

​is a change in the frequency and wavelength of a wave as the source and observer MOVE.

27

Doppler Effect: Sound

Longer frequency for observers as train leaves

Shorter frequency for observers as train approaches.

media

28

Doppler Effect: Light

Longer frequency for observers as train leaves = light shifts RED

Shorter frequency for observers as train gets closer - Light shifts BLUE

Multiple Choice

Question image

To demonstrate the properties of sound and light waves, a student shines a light and

plays a sound on one side of a piece of metal. The table shows observations about the

demonstration.

1

Light waves transfer more energy because there are no vibrations in the metal, but the sound

waves transfer through the metal using vibrations.

2

Sound waves transfer more matter because the waves can be detected on the other side of

the metal, but the light waves are absorbed by the metal.

3

Both sound and light waves travel without moving particles because the temperature

increases, but light waves transfer more energy.

4

Both sound and light waves transfer energy because the temperature increases, but sound

waves transfer energy by moving particles
