• Moving Objects

• Removing Energy

Multiple Choice

Which wave has the highest amplitude?

• A

• They have the same amplitude

Multiple Choice

Which one shows the wavelength of a wave?

Multiple Choice

Which wave in the diagram has the longest wavelength?

• 1

• 2

• 3

• 4

Multiple Choice

Which wave is carrying more energy?

• The blue wave because it has a larger amplitude.

• The blue wave because it has higher frequency.

• The red wave because it has higher amplitude.

• The red wave because it has higher frequency.

​Color this in your notes

Multiple Choice

What type of wave is a light wave?

• Longitudinal

• Transverse

Multiple Choice

True or False:

Light travels in a straight line.

• True

• False

Multiple Choice

A form of energy that does not require a medium to travel.

• Light
• Sound

Multiple Choice

the bouncing of a wave off a surface

• transmission

• reflection

• diffraction

• absorption

Multiple Choice

a material that allows most of the light that strikes it to pass through

• transparent

• translucent

• opaque

• reflection

Multiple Choice

a material through which light does not pass

• transparent

• translucent

• opaque

• reflection

Multiple Choice

a material that allows all of the light striking it to pass through

• transparent

• translucent

• opaque

• reflection

Multiple Choice

Which diagram best represents refraction?

• A

• B

• C

• D

Multiple Choice

Which wave behavior describes the process that occurs when a wave enters a new substance but stays in the new substance?

• Absorption

• Reflection

• Diffraction

• Refraction

• Transmission

All colors are absorbed. Red reflects off, so we see a red apple.

On the leaf, all other colors are absorbed, but the green is reflected so we see green.

Multiple Select

Which two wave behaviors are responsible for us seeing different colors?

• Refraction

• Reflection

• Diffraction

• Transmission

• Absorption
