Both whale songs have a low frequency.
b)
Whale A's song has a low frequency, and Whale B's song has a high frequency.
c)
Whale A's song has a high frequency, and Whale B's song has a low frequency.
d)
Both whale songs have a high frequency.
2.
Ramona, a marine biologist, is modeling whale song sound waves using an oscilloscope. Based on the patterns your identify in the wave models, how does the pitch of the whale songs compare?
a)
Both whale songs have a low pitch.
b)
Whale A's song has a low pitch, and Whale B's song has a high pitch.

3.
A sound technician is collecting data on sound waves while a musician plays a song on the piano. Based on the patterns you identify in the data, how can the musician increase the energy of the sound waves generated by her piano? Select all that apply.
a)
She could increase the amplitude.
b)
She could increase the sound waves.
c)
She could increase the frequency.
d)
She could increase the wavelength.
4.
Ricardo is investigating the characteristics of certain sounds. He developed two models showing the same musical note. Based on the patterns in the models he developed, which sound wave has more energy?
a)
Sound A has more energy, because the wave has a larger wavelength.
b)
Sound A has more energy, because the wave has a larger amplitude.
c)
Sound B has more energy, because the wave has a larger wavelength.
d)
Sound B has more energy, because the wave has a larger amplitude.
5.
Ricardo is investigating the characteristics of certain sounds. He developed two models showing the same musical note. Based on the patterns in the models he developed, which sound would be louder?
a)
Sound A
b)
Sound B
6.
Oscar plays the drums in a band. He wants to soundproof his room so that his parents cannot hear him when he practices at night. He tries soundproofing his room with three different materials. Which material would be least effective at preventing the sound reaching his parents’ room?
a)
The foam lining, because it absorbs sound
b)
The bubble wrap lining, because it allows sound transmission
c)
The cardboard lining, because it reflects the sound
7.
An astronaut is working inside a spaceship when a rock hits the outside of the spaceship. She hears a loud sound when the rock hits. Another astronaut is outside the spaceship on a spacewalk. As there are no air particles in space, how does she experience this event? Select the words that would correctly complete the sentence. The astronaut outside the spaceship 1. [can / cannot] hear the crash because sound waves 2. [need / do not need] a medium to be transmitted.
a)
1. can 2. need
b)
1. can 2. do not need
c)
1. cannot 2. need
d)
1. cannot. 2. do not need

1. cannot 2. need
d)
1. cannot. 2. do not need
9.
Tamika records four instruments in an orchestra for a project. She plays the recordings on her laptop using a program that shows her what the sound waves look like. Tamika’s computer program also shows her the energy for each sound wave. Which of the following factors affects the energy of a sound wave?
a)
Wavelength
b)
Amplitude
c)
Medium
d)
Both Wavelength and Amplitude
10.
