A plane flying overhead, do you HEAR it or SEE it first if it is going very fast.
Hear it
See it
if you were in space, where there is no air, and a plane could fly by, would you hear it or see it.
Hear it
See it
Sound waves from a plane would ____________ off a smooth surface.
pass through and reflect
only reflect
only go through
refract

pass through and reflect
only reflect
only go through
refract

Which TWO of the following statements about sound are NOT true?
Sound is produced through vibrations.
Sound travels in waves.
Sound can travel through outer space
Sound waves can bounce off of objects to create an echo.
Sound waves can only travel through the air.
Sound waves can travel through all three states of matter. Which of the following best explains why sound travels most quickly through a solid?
Solids always produce an echo, which makes the sound seem louder to the human ear.
Only solids allow the vibrations to travel from one atom (particle) to another.
In solids, the atoms (particles) are closest together, which allows the vibrations to travel rapidly from one to another through the object.
Sound does not travel quickly through a solid. It travels most rapidly through a gas.
Why can't sound travel through outer space?
There is almost no matter in outer space, so the vibrations have no way to travel through the atmosphere. There is nothing to carry the sound waves through space.
Sound actually travels very quickly through outer space because there is no matter to slow down the sound waves.
There are too many planets and stars in outer space that absorb all of the sound waves, so they cannot travel to the human ear.
Because outer space is a "vacuum," the vibrations are irregular and travel in too many directions for us to detect the sound.
Which of these waves would produce a high pitch sound?
Low frequency wave
High frequency wave
The speed of a sound wave
Amplitude
Wavelength
Volume
Frequency
What determines the pitch of a sound?
The amount of energy used to create the vibration
The wavelength of the sound wave.
The volume of the sound.
The frequency of the vibrations.
If you pull a guitar string tighter, what will happen to the sound it creates?
The pitch will become higher because the string will vibrate more quickly.
The pitch will become lower because the string will vibrate more slowly.
The sound will get louder because more energy will be in the string.
The sound will get quieter because less energy will be in the string.
- When light enters glass at an angle, what will happen?
The light will not be affected at all.
The light will speed up and be reflected.
The light will slow down and continue to travel in a straight line.
The light will bend because it slows down upon entering the new medium
Which of the following best describes the frequency of a wave?
The amount of energy the wave carries
The distance between the highest and lowest point
The number of waves that pass by a point each second

observations that some stars can be seen in every season
Observations that the pattern of stars in the sky stay the same although they appear to shift across the sky nightly.
Observations that different stars appear in different seasons, but the patterns of the stars remain the same.
