Sound can travel between planets
List the order of mediums through which sound travels from fastest to slowest.
Liquid, Gas, Solid

Which of the following sound wave produces the highest pitch of sound?
The diagram shows a research vessel using sonar to map the ocean floor.
Upon which basic behavior of sound waves does this technology depend?
absorption
compression
reflection
refraction
Sound travels at 1400m/s in water. If a ship sends a sonar signal to map the bottom of the ocean and it returns after 2 seconds, how deep is the ocean?
700m
1400m
2800m
6000m
How the pond appears to be, when it is seen from outside?
Seems Deeper
Seems shallower
Seems very deep
No change is there
Dispersion of light referred to as________.
Bending of light
Splitting of light in seven colours
Splitting of light in primary colours
Bouncing back of light
Images in a plane mirror are
Real
Same size
Larger
Smaller
In this diagram, which is the angle of reflection?
Angle A
Angle B
Angle C
Angle D
If the angle of incidence (B) = 35°, what is the measure of angle D?
35°
45°
55°
90°
Law of reflection state that - The angle of incidence is .................. to the angle of reflection.
half
equal
double
Light emerging from water to air will bend ______ due to the speed ______ as it crosses the boundary.
toward the normal, increases
toward the normal, decreases
away from the normal, increases
away from the normal, decreases
Why is the spectrum of light separated into its components of color when white light is directed to a prism?
Because light reflects off the prism's surface
The incident white light refracts and splits into its constituent colors (spectrum)
The white light is absorbed by the prism, separating its colors
The light speeds up as it moves from air into the denser plastic material
What might explain why light travels in a straight line?
If there is nothing to interfere with light waves, they should travel in a straight line.
Light waves will always travel in a straight line, even if they come into contact with another object.
Light waves don't travel in a straight line.
Light waves travel in a straight line because sound waves travel in a straight line.
What property of this wave is represented by the letter "A"
amplitude
crest
trough
wavelength
Diagram shows 3 types of sound waves generated from speaker. Which of the following statements is true?
P has a higher pitch than Q
R has the highest pitch
Q has a higher pitch than R
P, Q and R have the same pitch
Which word best describes how light reacts when passing from air through water?
refraction
reflection
diffraction
compression
Which diagram represents diffuse reflection?
A
B
Based on the image, as light passes from medium 1 to medium 2
light speeds up and bends towards the normal
light speeds up and bends away from the normal
light slows down and bends towards the normal
light slows down and bends away from the normal
consist more than one colour
consist only ONE colour
only dark colours

Which wave would have a higher pitch?
A
B
What is the distance of your image from you if you stand 1.5 m in front of a plane mirror?

2.0 m
3.0 m
4.5 m

virtual image
real image
This image depicts which of the following wave behaviors?
