Light and Sound

A Light Wave is:

• a type of electromagnetic wave

• a sound wave

• a mechanical wave

• a gravitational wave

What is Refraction?

• The bending of light as it passes from one medium to another

• The reflection of light off a surface

• The dispersion of light into its component colors

• The absorption of light by a medium

What is a Sound Wave?

• A type of electromagnetic wave

• A disturbance that travels through a medium as a longitudinal wave

• A form of light wave

• A type of static electricity

What is Pitch?

• A type of musical note

• A measure of sound frequency

• A term in baseball

• A type of adhesive

The Doppler effect is:

• a change in frequency or wavelength of a wave in relation to an observer who is moving relative to the wave source.

• the bending of light as it passes around an object.

• the splitting of white light into its component colors.

• the phenomenon where light is absorbed by a material.

What is the Speed of sound?

• 343 meters per second

• 299,792 kilometers per second

• 1,225 kilometers per hour

• 1,080 miles per hour

Pitch/Frequency is defined as:

• The number of vibrations or cycles per second

• The amplitude of a sound wave

• The speed of sound in air

• The wavelength of a sound wave

What is Volume/Amplitude?

• A measure of the amount of space an object occupies

• A measure of the strength or intensity of a sound wave

• A measure of the weight of an object

• A measure of the speed of an object
