A wave that moves the medium in the same direction that the wave travels is a

• transverse wave
• longitudinal wave
• standing wave
• mechanical wave

The bending of a wave due to a change in its speed is

• interference
• reflection
• diffraction
• refraction

In the ear, a fluid-filled cavity that is shaped like a snail shell is the

• ear canal.
• eardrum.
• cochlea.
• larynx.

A system of using reflected sound waves to detect and locate objects underwater is called

The electromagnetic waves with the longest wavelengths and lowest frequencies are

• radio waves.
• infrared rays.
• X-rays.
• gammy rays.

When scientists talk about white light, they are MOST likely referring to light that is

• a combination of all of the colors in the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum.

• the unabsorbed refracted light produced by a black light.

• the narrow band corresponding to white light in the electromagnetic spectrum.

• a combination of all the types of electromagnetic radiation.
