Total questions: 20
Worksheet time: 10mins
When you throw a pebble into a puddle, the point where the ripple is the highest is called the ___________.
surface
crest
trough
rest position
What are breaking waves?
waves that move in circles
waves that bob up and down
waves that move from side to side
waves that fall forward with a splash
In which of these waves does matter move only from side to side?
water waves
sound waves
surface waves
waves on a string
The point where the matter carrying a sound wave is spread apart is known as the wave’s _________.
rest position
loudness
crest
trough
Water waves, waves on a string, and sound waves all
move in circles.
move from side to side.
push matter together and spread it apart.
spread out in all possible directions.
Lin is at a pond and tosses a pebble into the water. Below is a picture of what happens. Which BEST explains what happens in this example of a wave?
A wave forms and moves through the air.
A wave forms and stops before it forms a pattern.
A wave spreads out from the pebble in all directions as a pattern in the water.
A wave spreads toward the pebble in one direction and forms a pattern in the water.
Sarah sees a flag waving in the wind. She notices that the flag moves in a similar pattern as a wave on a string. Which claim about a flag wave is BEST supported by the evidence in the picture?
The flag moves in small circles.
The flag moves through the air at a fast rate.
The flag moves side to side but stays in the same place.
The flag moves forward and backward without moving too far.
Marcus is playing his violin. Which BEST explains how the sound waves move as he plays?
They move in a circle.
They move side to side.
They move up and down.
They move forward and backward.
Ana started a new fitness program at the gym. For one exercise, she had to wave heavy ropes up and down. Which claim is BEST supported by evidence in the photograph?
The matter in the ropes falls forward and backward.
The matter in the ropes travels with the ropes in small circles.
The waves on the ropes move through the air like a coiled spring toy.
The waves on the ropes move in a repeating pattern of crests and troughs.
Based on what you know about ocean waves, how do you think buoys are able to measure the height of ocean waves?
Buoys fall with the wave crests and rise with the troughs.
Buoys rise with the wave crests and fall with the troughs.
Buoys rise with the wave crests and fall to the resting position.
Buoys fall with the wave crests and rise to the resting position.
Scientists classify waves by
how high their crests are.
how they move matter.
what their matter is made of.
how their matter spreads out.
In a wave, the rest position is
the wave’s lowest point.
the direction a wave moves.
the original position of the wave’s matter.
the repeating pattern a wave makes.
In a sound wave, the area that is pushed together is called a
crest.
trough.
spring coil.
rest position.
Which of the following describes how a sound wave moves?
side to side
in circles
forward and backward
all of the above
___________ is a similarity that all sound, string, and water waves share.
Spreading out
Repeating patterns
Moving through matter
all of the above
How do breaking waves move?
up in troughs
in small circles
by falling forward
side to side
The highest point of a wave is called a
crest
trough
ripple
rest position
Unlike a water wave, a string wave
moves side to side.
moves backwards.
causes matter to travel.
moves forward and backward.
The lowest point of a wave is called a
crest
trough
ripple
rest position
Which wave has a higher amplitude?
The wave on top
The wave on the bottom
They both have the same amplitude
