Which is true about a surface wave?

It has properties of both transverse and longitudinal waves.

It only has properties of transverse waves.

It only has properties of longitudinal waves.

has neither properties of transverse or longitudinal waves.

Why does the dog think he is looking at another dog?

Light waves are striking the mirror and bouncing off of it.

Light waves are striking the mirror and going straight through it.

Light waves are striking the mirror and going into it without going out the other side.

Light waves are striking the mirror and being bent as they go through it.

Select thesentence that is true about standing waves.

A node is a point that has no displacement from the rest position

Standing waves appear to move through a medium, such as a string.

Complete destructive interference occurs at antinodes.

A standing wave will form for any wavelength, as long as two ends of a rope or string are stretched tightly between two points

Circle the letter of the results that occur when a wave reflects off a fixed boundary

The reflected wave will be turned upside down.

The frequency of the wave will decrease.

The amplitude will double as it strikes the surface.

The speed of the wave will decrease.

What are the properties of sound waves?

speed, intensity/loudness, and frequency/pitch

speed, rarefraction, frequency/pitch

Select each sentence that is true about sound. (2 answers)
