SOL 5.2/5.3 light and sound review

A student used a coiled child's toy to show the class about sound waves. What kind of waves did he demonstrate?

• compression

• radio

• light

• x-ray

NGSS.MS-PS4-1

A part of the wave where the molecules are spread apart is called-

• wavelength

• compression

• direction of travel

• rarefaction

Which of these does not emit light waves?

• 
• 
• 
• 

One way in which light waves are different from sound waves is that light waves-

• can move through empty space

• are caused by rapid vibrations

• travel more slowly

• can be reflected

When compression waves move through matter, the molecules move-

• backward and forward

• in a circular motion

• in random directions

• up and down

• red, violet

• light

• energy

• freuency

• machine

The visible light spectrum is-

• frequencies

• only the black

• wavelength

• the light humans can see with our eyes

Which of these objects is translucent?

• a mirror on the bus

• a brick wall of the school

• a student's notebook

• a student's sunglass lenses

The molecules of solids are close together so-

• sound does not travel through solids

• sound travels more quickly through liquids

• sound travels more quickly through solids

• sound travels more slowly through solids
