Which TWO types of waves require a medium to be transmitted?
ocean
light
sound
x-ray
What is it called when light AND/OR sound waves bounce off a solid surface and return back to the source?
Absorption
Refraction
Reflection
Transmission
Typically, sound will travel fastest in a –
solid
gas
liquid
plasma
Light waves are relayed through transparent or see-through materials, like windows.
Choose the best vocabulary word that describes when waves pass through or are sent forward through a medium (solid, liquid, or gas):
Refraction
Absorption
Reflection
Transmission
A sound engineer is working with a singer that is having a hard time maintaining an accurate PITCH. How can the engineer change the sound wave to fix this?
Change the sound wave’s Intensity
Change the sound wave’s frequency
Change the sound wave’s volume
Change the sound wave’s amplitude
The sound engineer received a recording of a new artist, but the artist isn’t singing with enough volume to hear their voice over the instruments.
How can the engineer fix this issue?
Increase the sound wave’s frequency
Increase the sound wave’s Amplitude
Decrease the sound wave’s Refraction
Change the sound wave’s crest
Sound waves are created by the ______________ of particles in different mediums (solids, liquids, gases)
vibrations
compressions
rarefactions
electromagnetism
Which light wave will appear the brightest?
#1 because it has a higher amplitude
#2 because it has a lower amplitude
They will be equally bright
Light waves do not indicate brightness
Which wave model shows the structure of a Sound Wave?
The Longitudinal wave because the wave travels parallel (side to side) from the source of the vibration
The Longitudinal wave because the wave travels perpendicular (up and down) to the source of the vibration
The Transverse wave because the wave travels parallel (side to side) from the source of the vibration
The Transverse wave because the wave travels perpendicular (up and down) to the source of the vibration.
ALL wave type shave one thing in common, what they transfer...
light
sound
water
energy
