Energy and Waves Quiz 2 Review

Use the diagram to answer the question.

Which of the following choices best describes wave A as compared to wave B?

• Wave A has a longer wavelength, lower frequency, same amplitude

• Wave A has a shorter wavelength, higher frequency, same amplitude

• Wave A has a shorter wavelength, lower frequency, lower amplitude

• Wave A has a longer wavelength, higher frequency, higher amplitude

The speed of a wave depends on:

• The heat

• The amplitude

• The frequency

• The medium

A sound wave is a mechanical wave, not an electromagnetic wave. This means that:

• a medium is required in order for sound waves to transport energy.

• particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of energy transport.

• particles of the medium regularly and repeatedly rotate around their rest postition.

• a sound wave transports its energy through a vacuum.

Use the diagram to anbswer question #4

Which of the following statements is true?

• Wave B has less energy because it has a shorter wavelength and higher amplitude.

• Wave A has less energy because it has a longer wavelength and a higher amplitude.

• Wave B has more energy because it has a longer wavelength and a lower amplitude.

• Wave A has more energy because it has a shorter wavelength and a higher amplitude.

What type of wave has the particles of the medium traveling parallel to the direction of the energy?

• Light

• Frequency

• Transverse

• Longitudinal

Heat is:

• The size of the particles within an object

• The transfer of thermal energy

• How hot or cold the particles within an object feel

• The distance an object can travel

Transfer of heat between substances that have direct contact is:

• Conduction

• Radiation

• Convection

• Electromagnetic

Heat always travels from:

• Objects that are the same temperature

• Heat does not transfer, it just moves.

• Warmer objects to cooler objects.

• Cooler objects to warmer objects.

• Convection

• Radiation

• Conduction

• Thermal energy
