A stereo speaker is made of a flexible cone-shaped material that vibrates, creating a sound wave. A sound wave formed by a speaker travels through air to your ear as a series of compressions and rarefactions of air molecules. Which statement classifies the sound wave?

longitudinal wave in which the particles of the wave move in a direction parallel to the wave motion

transverse wave in which the particles of the wave move in a direction perpendicular to the wave motion

transverse wave in which the particles of the wave move in a direction parallel to the wave motion

longitudinal wave in which the particles of the wave move in a direction perpendicular to the wave motion

Which statement best describes visible light?

Visible light occupies a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum and can travel in a vacuum

Visible light occupies most of the electromagnetic spectrum and requires a medium for travel

Visible light occupies most of the electromagnetic spectrum and can travel in a vacuum

Visible light occupies a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum and requires a medium for travel

A student plans an investigation to compare the amounts of heat released from several different light bulbs. Each light bulb has a different wattage. The amount of heat released from each bulb is estimated by measuring the change in temperature of a beaker of water positioned over the lit bulb after 10 minutes. In this investigation, what is the independent variable?

the change in temperature of the water

the amount of time the water was heated

Identify all examples of resonance.(Check all)

Striking a piece of crystal stemware

The two waves below are traveling at the same speed. Which statement best describes the difference between the waves?

Wave A has a lower frequency than wave B.

Wave A has a lower amplitude than wave B.

Wave A has a higher amplitude than wave B.

Wave A has a higher frequency than wave B.

Sonar equipment sends waves into deep water and measures the

time delay of the reflected waves

direction of the transmitted waves

refraction of the transmitted waves

interference of the transmitted and reflected waves

How are frequency and wavelength related?

As wavelength increases, frequency decreases.

The speed of the wave is determined by subtracting frequency and wavelength.

As wavelength increases, frequency increases.

The speed of a wave is determined by dividing frequency by wavelength.

During a fireworks show, a family sees the spray of sparkles from an exploding firework high in the sky and a moment later, hears the pop. Which of these best explains why the pop and spray do not seem to occur at the same time?

Sound travels slower than light

Light and sound travel through air

Light and sound travel at the same speed

Why are ultrasonic treatments effective in treating kidney stones in patients?

Sound energy is absorbed by kidney stones causing them to break apart.

Energy from sound waves causes these hard objects to move through the body faster.

The treament removes energy from the kidney stones and causes them to shrink.

The treatment reduces the kinetic energy of the stones so they stop moving.
