2.

what facts about waves are TRUE

a)

A wave does not transfer matter

b)

A wave can transfer matter

c)

A wave has a resting point

d)

A wave can go faster in gases

3.

What is a example of a longitudinal waves

a)

slinky

b)

rope

c)

Surface ripples on water,

d)

vibrations in a guitar string

4.

what is a wave

a)

a repeating disturbance that carries energy through matter or space

b)

an irregular movement of energy across a space

c)

A wave is a traveling disturbance that moves through space and matter.

d)

the movement of energy and matter from one location to another

5.

What kind of waves can travel in space?

a)

light waves

b)

sound waves

c)

Neither a or b

d)

Both a and b

6.

Which statement best describes the movement of a compressional/longitudinal wave?

a)

Particles of the medium move in the same direction of the wave's movement.

b)

Particles of the medium circle around the direction of the wave's movement.

c)

Particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave's movement.

d)

Particles of the medium radiate outward compared to the wave's movement.

7.

What is amplitude

a)

the height of a wave

b)

the length of a wave

c)

the speed of a wave

d)

the number of wave cycles a wave completes in one second

8.

What do you call the region labeled A in the diagram below

a)

amplitude

b)

wavelength

c)

frequency

d)

phase

9.

A wave that moves at right angles to the direction it travels in.

a)

compressional/longitudinal

b)

transverse

10.

You would not be able to hear any sound in space because...

a)

Things are not loud enough in space.

b)

You cannot hear or see in space.

c)

There is no air in space.

11.

what equation calculate velocity?

a)

velocity(y)=Ampliude(A)÷wave properties(α)velocity\left(y\right)=Ampliude\left(A\right)\div wave\ properties\left(\alpha\right)

b)

both are incorrect

c)

velocity (y)=wavelength (λ)× frequency (f)velocity\ \left(y\right)=wavelength\ \left(\lambda\right)\times\ frequency\ \left(f\right)

d)

velocity(y)= crest (c)×wavewength(λ)velocity\left(y\right)=\ crest\ \left(c\right)\times wavewength\left(\lambda\right)

12.

How many wave cycles are shown in the graph below?

a)

2

b)

1

c)

4

d)

3

13.

If you were to push one end of the slinky on the floor...

a)

Transverse waves will form

b)

Compressional/longitudinal waves will form

c)

Nothing would happened

d)

none of them are correct

14.

Why would a person playing outfield in a baseball game will see the ball hit that bat before they hear it

a)

Sound travels faster than light

b)

The player is not listening.

c)

Light travels faster than sound.

d)

The player is too far from the ball and bat.

15.

What wave is this

a)

Longitudinal wave

b)

Electromagnetic wave

c)

Mechanical wave

d)

transverse wave

16.

What is frequency?

a)

describes the number of waves that pass a fixed place in a given amount of time. So if the time it takes for a wave to pass is is 1/2 second, the frequency is 2 per second. If it takes 1/100 of an hour, the frequency is 100 per hour.

b)

the measurable amount of a property, such as force, brightness, or a magnetic field.

c)

that is an oscillation of matter, and therefore transfers energy through a medium.

d)

the distance between identical points (adjacent crests) in the adjacent cycles of a waveform signal propagated in space or along a wire.

17.

what a period on waves

a)

a period is to mark the time it take to complete a cycle

b)

a period is to mark the time it take for a wave to go down
