Which of the following is true for sound waves?

They are unrelated to vibrations.

They cannot travel through liquids

How do electromagnetic and mechanical waves compare?

Mechanical waves can only travel through a solid, liquid, or gas, but electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum.

Mechanical waves can only travel through a vacuum, but electromagnetic waves can travel through a solid, liquid, or gas.

Mechanical waves can travel through a solid, liquid, or gas, but electromagnetic waves can only travel through a gas.

Mechanical waves can travel through a solid, liquid, or gas, but electromagnetic waves can only travel through a solid.

A student asks a series of questions about a wave. The answer to which question will allow the student to determine whether the wave is electromagnetic or mechanical?

Does it require a medium in order to travel?

Can it pass through air and water?

Does it have a measurable speed?

Does it have a measurable frequency?

What do radio waves, microwaves, X-rays, and gamma rays all have in common?

They are electromagnetic waves.

They all have the same wavelength.

They are detected in the same way.

They store the same amount of energy.

Select the correct order of waves on the EMS

Radio, Micro, Infra, Visible, Ultra, X-ray, Gamma

Gamma, X-ray, Ultra, Vis, Infra, Micro, Radio

Vis, Micro, Infra, Ultra, X-ray, Gamma, Radio

Micro, Radio, Vis, Infra, Ultra, X-ray, Gamma

associated with longitudinal waves

associated with transverse waves

When comparing the two waves that are shown, how would Wave A (green wave) differ than Wave B (black wave)?

Wave A and B have the same amplitude, but wave B (black) has a lower pitch.

Wave A and B have the same amplitude, but Wave A has a lower pitch.

Wave A and B have the same pitch, but Wave A is a softer sound.

Wave A and B have the same pitch, but Wave B is a softer sound.

When the frequency of a wave increases, what happens to the wavelength?

The wavelength is not directly affected by the frequency of a wave.

More specific information is needed to form a conclusion about the wavelength.

Electromagnetic waves include the following except

doing the wave at a football game

What affects the amplitude of a sound wave?

The amount of energy that is put into a wave determines its amplitude.

The amount of mass that is put into a wave determines its amplitude.

The amount of gravity that is put into a wave determines its amplitude.

Select the correct order of waves on the EMS

Radio, Micro, Infra, Visible, Ultra, X-ray, Gamma

Gamma, X-ray, Ultra, Vis, Infra, Micro, Radio

Vis, Micro, Infra, Ultra, X-ray, Gamma, Radio

Micro, Radio, Vis, Infra, Ultra, X-ray, Gamma

Put the visible light colors in order from longest wavelength to shortest wavelength

Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet

Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Orange, Yellow, Red

Red, Yellow, Green, Orange, Violet, Blue, Indigo
