What does it truly mean when an object appears black?
The object is black because that is the color that is being reflected off of it.
The object is black because that is the color being absorbed by it.

Which of the following statements is true of transverse waves?
Transverse waves require a medium in order to propagate.
Transverse waves come in many forms, such as sound and other pressure waves.
Transverse waves propagate perpendicular to oscillation.
Transverse waves propagate parallel to oscillation.
What is the amplitude of the wave?

30 cm
What is the period of the wave?
15 cm
25 s

How is the amplitude of a wave related to its frequency?
Amplitude is directly related to the frequency, thus, the bigger the amplitude the higher the frequency.
Amplitude is inversely related to the frequency, thus, the bigger the amplitude the smaller the frequency.
Amplitude is not related to the frequency.
Amplitude is correlated to, but not directly or inversely related to the frequency.
Which of the following has the highest frequency?
Radio Waves
Infrared Waves
X Rays
Visible Light Waves
