Wave A is being decreased in temperature, and Wave B is moving from a liquid to a gas medium. Which statement can be made about both waves?

They will increase the density of their medium.

They will decrease the density of their medium.

What do diffraction and refraction have in common?

They both involve wave interactions.

They both involve interference.

They both involve construction.

What will occur when the trough of Wave A overlaps the crest of Wave B?

Destructive interference will occur, causing the new wave to have less energy than Wave A or Wave B.

Destructive interference will occur, causing the new wave to have more energy than Wave A or Wave B.

Constructive interference will occur, causing the new wave to have more energy than Wave A or Wave B.

Constructive interference will occur, causing the new wave to have less energy than Wave A or Wave B.

Henri draws a wave that has a 4 cm distance between the midpoint and the trough. Geri draws a wave that has an 8 cm vertical distance from the bottom of the trough to the top of the crest. Which statement best describes the energy in Henri and Geri’s waves?

Henri’s wave and Geri’s wave have the same amplitude and the same energy.

Henri’s wave has a higher amplitude and more energy.

Henri’s wave and Geri’s wave have the same amplitude, but Geri’s has more energy.

Geri’s wave has a higher amplitude and more energy.

What will most likely happen if a light wave moves through a solid?

It will increase in wavelength.

It will decrease in wavelength.

Which statement best describes how waves carry energy?

Energy moves from one place to another through the wave.

Energy increases as it moves through the wave.

Energy is completely consumed by the beginning of the wave.

Energy builds through the wave and is released at the end.

Which types of waves requires matter to carry energy?

electromagnetic and mechanical waves

longitudinal and electromagnetic waves

Atomic bombs send out a shock wave when they are detonated. This occurs because the bomb’s detonation superheats the air particles nearby, which cause them to bump into other air particles that further the wave. Which statement can most likely be made about the shock waves of atomic bombs?

They are an electromagnetic waves.

Which is an example of a transverse wave?

a crowd doing the wave at a sporting event

an ultrasound that transmits soundwaves

the waves formed by an earthquake

the movement of a spring in a pogo stick

A museum sets up a display of fluorescent minerals. Which best describes how electromagnetic waves can be used to enhance the display?

Infrared light shining on the minerals will cause them to give off visible light

Visible light shining on the minerals will cause them to give off infrared light.

Ultraviolet light shining on the minerals will cause them to give off visible light.

Visible light shining on the minerals will cause them to give off ultraviolet light.

If humans cannot see ultraviolet waves, how can ultraviolet light be used to gather evidence of a crime?

Ultraviolet light detects the presence of radioactive substances.

Ultraviolet light shows cold areas as blue and warm areas as red.

Ultraviolet light causes substances to fluoresce and give off visible light.

Ultraviolet light transmits information to AM and FM radio receivers.
