Waves and Sound Test Review

What do we call the bottom of a transverse wave?

• crest
• trough
• wavelength
• amplitude

What do we call the top of the wave?

• crest
• trough
• amplitude
• frequency

Paul is fishing out on the Resevoir.  He sees a fish from his boat and goes to spear it but misses by a lot but sees that the fish has not moved.  What caused him to think the fish was some where else?

• reflection
• transmission
• absorption
• refraction

What happens when you increase the amplitude of a sound?

• it makes the sound louder
• it makes the sound travel faster
• it increases the wavelength of the sound
• it increases the frequency of the sound

Waves that require a medium are called 

• mechanical waves
• transverse waves
• light waves
• gamma rays

NGSS.MS-PS4-1

This behavior occurs when waves bend from changing speed.

• refraction
• reflection
• transmission
• absorption

What kind of wave moves at right angles to the direction of the wave?

• compressional waves
• mechanical waves
• transverse waves
• ultraviolet rays

This behavior is what happens when waves bounce back when meeting a surface.

• refraction
• reflection
• transmission
• absorption
