Total questions: 15
Worksheet time: 8mins
Which event is an example of conduction?
Cold water is heated in a microwave oven.
A fire in a fireplace warms the air in a room.
Boiling water in a pot warms a spoon inside the pot.
Sunlight travels from the Sun to warm Earth.
The water is displaced by the hot metal.
Gases given off by the metal bubble to the surface of the
water.
Heat from the metal is transferred to the water.
The boiling point of the water is reduced by the metal.
The waves carry different amounts of energy.
The waves have different wavelengths.
The waves are a different distance from the source.
The waves travel at different speeds.
What do waves carry through objects?
sound
light
energy
water
What causes a seismic wave?
energy transferred into Earth from the Sun as electromagnetic
waves
growing pressure on rocks from the weight of material above
them
very loud sound waves from the atmosphere entering the ground
sudden breaking of rock as it releases potential energy
Which bar measures the wavelength of the wave?
bar W
bar X
bar Y
bar Z
Which of these elements is a solid at room temperature?
Nitrogen
Carbon
Oxygen
Hydrogen
Which material best conducts electricity?
wool coat
plastic straw
copper pipe
wooden stick
Which is considered a good insulator of heat?
plastic, because heat is unable to flow easily through it
glass, because it allows heat to flow easily
aluminum, because it allows heat to flow easily
silver, because heat is unable to flow easily through it
Waves that are a displacement of the medium is parallel to the propagation of the wave. A wave in a "slinky" is a good visualization. Sound waves are also good examples.
Transverse Wave
Longitudinal Wave
Ocean Wave
Light Wave
Waves travel through a solid, liquid or gas called a
Matter
Energy
Medium
Electromagnetic Wave
A crayon placed on a dark driveway in bright sunlight melted into a colorful puddle. What caused the crayon to melt?
Solar radiation heated the driveway and then heat transferred to the crayon by conduction.
Solar radiation heated the driveway and then heat transferred to the crayon by radiation.
Solar convection heated the driveway and then heat transferred to the crayon by radiation.
Solar convection heated the driveway and then heat transferred to the crayon by conduction.
Which statement correctly describes how a sound wave travels through air?
The wave carries molecules of air away from the source of the sound.
The wave carries energy that causes molecules to move back and forth.
The wave carries a molecule in one direction until it collides with another molecule.
The wave moves through the air and gains energy from the moving molecules that it touches.
The boiling point of water in degrees Celsius is
100 C
212 F
0 C
32 F
Waves that goes up and down and vibrating at right angles to the direction of its propagation.
Sound Wave
Compressional Wave
Longitudinal Wave
Transverse Wave
