In which direction(s) do seismic waves travel from their point of origin?

inward, to the core of the Earth

A wave travels through a medium because

the wave’s energy passes from particle to particle.

the medium’s particles are carried along with the wave.

the medium transfers electromagnetic energy.

the wave increases the potential energy of its medium

Refraction occurs when a wave

enters a new medium at an angle

hits a surface through which it cannot pass

Why do you see lightning from a distant storm before you hear thunder?

Light travels faster than sound.

The thunder is produced after the lightning

Your eyes react faster than your ears.

Sound travels faster than light.

Why is the school library covered with carpet?

to help absorb sounds to keep it quiet

So everyone can make a lot of noise

to help absorb sounds so it can stay noisy

Use the image to identify the motion of the object relative to Earth. Compare the absorption spectra of the star to what the star would look like if it were not moving at all relative to Earth.

It is moving away from Earth (Redshift)

It is moving towards Earth (Blueshift)

It is moving towards Earth (Redshift)

What best describes the doppler effect?

An apparent change in frequency of a wave due to the relative motion between a wave source and an observer

An apparent change in the amplitude of a wave due to the relative motion between a wave source and an observer.
