For a sound wave, the volume (loudness) of the sound is dependent on the:

• Amplitude

• Period

• Frequency

• Wavelength

The distance between the center of a wave and its maximum height is called the:

• Wavelength

• Antinode

• Amplitude

• Medium

The frequency (color) of the light bulb changes as it moves away from one person and toward another. The reason this happens is because of

• interference

• superposition

• the doppler effect

• frequency

The student with the slinky is demonstrating how to create

• a wave pulse

• a transverse wave

• a longitudinal wave

• a wave front

The two waves on top are in superposition. The result of both waves coming together is shown by the dark blue wave below. This phenomena where waves can add together or cancel out is called

• the doppler effect

• diffraction

• in-phase

• interference

When two waves meet, the waves are said to be in

• superposition

• wave front

• in-phase

• out-of-phase

This standing wave has exactly 5

• nodes

• antinodes

• hertz

• medium

The period of this wave is exactly

• 1/4 s

• 2 s

• 1/2 s

• 4 s
