Waves Unit Review

During a thrilling science class, Anika and her friends Henry, Avery, and Aiden are gathered around an oscilloscope, observing a mysterious blue wave. Can you help them figure out the amplitude of this intriguing blue wave?

• 1

• 2.5

• 2

• 3

• 4

In a lively science class, Grace and Henry are buzzing with excitement as they explore the world of light waves. They ponder, which of the following colors of light would you expect to have the least amount of energy? Join them in figuring this out!

• Yellow

• Blue

• Red

• Green

During a fun beach outing, Ava and Jackson observed that _______ ocean waves have ______ energy than ______ ones of the same wavelength and frequency.

• Big; more; smaller

• Small; more; big

• Big; less; smaller

• Big; slightly less; smaller

While setting up a home theater for a movie night, Evelyn noticed that the digital HDMI connection produced a much crisper image than the analog VGA connection. What is one important cause of this?

• Digital signals are not as susceptible to noise as analog.

• Analog is incapable of producing images as crisp as digital.

• Digital is always a better option than analog.

• Analog signals transmit in discrete pulses which decreases transmission quality.

During an exciting physics class experiment, Kai, Evelyn, and Aria team up to measure the wavelength of a wave generated in their lab setup. What is the wavelength of this wave?

During an exciting physics class, Liam and Noah are exploring the fascinating world of wave patterns. As they examine a detailed diagram of a wave, they're eager to figure out, 'What is the amplitude of this wave?'

During an exciting science experiment, Isla and Jackson observed alongside Maya that sound zips through water faster than it does in air. Isn't that fascinating?

• True

• False

During a lively classroom demonstration, Jackson excitedly shows two plots on a screen to explain signal transmission. The gray plot and red plot both aim to transmit the same signal. What is the most accurate conclusion we can draw from this?

• The gray plot represents a discrete analog signal.

• The red plot represents a discrete digital signal.

• The red plot represents a discrete analog signal.

• The red plot cannot effectively transmit a useful signal due to its box-like shape.

During an exciting physics class demonstration, Arjun and Elijah compare two sound waves displayed on an oscilloscope. Which statement best describes the differences between these two waves?

• Wave 1 has a higher frequency because it has a longer wavelength than wave 2.

• Wave 1 has a higher frequency because it has a higher amplitude than wave 2.

• Wave 2 has more energy because it has a higher amplitude than wave 1.

• Wave 2 has more energy because it has a higher frequency than wave 1.

In a lively physics class, Avery excitedly asks, 'What exactly is a wavelength?'

• Wavelength is the length of one complete wave cycle, often represented by the symbol λ.

• Wavelength measures the intensity of radiation.

• It's when light bends in a way that it negates its own effect.
