If the amplitude of wave is increased, what happens to the compression of the wave?

Particles in the compression become more tightly packed

particles in the compression become less tightly packed

particles in the rarefaction spread apart further

particles in the rarefaction stay closer together

If the volume of a sound wave is increased. What happens to the frequency?

Nothing. Amplitude and frequency do not depend on each other.

Which of the following best explains why a black shirt makes you feel hotter?

It absorbs all the wavelengths of light

It reflects all the wavelengths of light.

Explain why a banana looks yellow.

Bananas reflect the yellow wavelength of light an absorb all the others.

Bananas absorb the yellow wavelength of light and reflect all of the others.

Bananas are naturally yellow colored it has nothing to do with light.

How is the electromagnetic spectrum arranged?

Radiowaves, Microwaves, infrared, Visible Light, Ultraviolet, X-ray, Gamma

Radiowaves, Microwaves, Ultraviolet, Visible Light, Infrared, X-Ray, Gamma

Gamma, X-ray, Visible Light, radio waves, infrared, ultraviolet, microwaves

Transverse, compressional, longitudinal, mechanical, crest, trough, wavelength

A student questioned how the properties of different materials affect the speed of sound waves traveling through them. The student found the following data in a chemistry handbook for the speed of sound in gases, liquids, and solids. The student analyzed the data to make predictions about the speed of sound on materials with various densities and states of matter. Which TWO predictions can be made based on the data shown in the table?

The speed of sound generally increases as it moves from gases to liquids to solids.

As the density of solids and gases increases, the speed of sound generally decreases.

The speed of sound generally increases as it moves from liquids to gases to solids.

The speed of sound generally increases as it from solids to gases to liquids.

As the density of liquids and solids increases, the speed of sound generally increases.

How do electromagnetic waves differ from mechanical waves?

Mechanical waves need a medium through which to travel, but electromagnetic waves do not.

Mechanical waves have crests and troughs, but electromagnetic waves do not.

Electromagnetic waves come in many types, but mechanical waves are all the same.

Electromagnetic waves carry energy, while mechanical waves carry matter.
