Why does this car appears red under a white light?
The car is absorbing the red light and reflecting the blue and green.
The car is reflecting only the red light while absorbing the blue and green.
The car is absorbing the red and green light while reflecting the blue.

pitch.
amplitude.
How do the sound waves of the higher pitch notes compare to the sound waves of the lower pitch notes?
The sound waves of notes with higher pitches have higher amplitudes.
The sound waves of notes with higher pitches travel at higher speed.
The sound waves of notes with higher pitches have higher wavelengths.
The sound waves of notes with higher pitches have higher frequencies.
What happens to the speed of light as it exits the air and enters a glass of water?
It speeds up
It remains constant
It slows down
It first slows down and then speeds up
There is only one fish in the fishbowl below. When Joseph looks down at the fish, the image he observes is closer to the surface than the actual location of the fish.
Which wave characteristic does Joseph’s observation demonstrate?
amplitude
diffraction
reflection
refraction
How are sound waves different from light waves?
sound waves send signals to the brain through a special nerve
sound waves need a medium, such as water or metal, to move through.
sound waves move energy through space and time
sound waves are part of the electromagnetic spectrum
Which cup is opaque?
Which cup is translucent?
Which cup is transparent?
When a wave strikes a surface and does not reflect or transmit it, it _____
How do the waves compare?
Which of the following properties makes a light wave different from a mechanical wave?
A light wave slows down in a vacuum
A light wave is able to transmit energy
A light wave exists as a transverse wave
A light wave can travel without a medium
_____?_____ materials allow ALL light waves to pass through easily.

Which letter shows a wave being reflected?

which of the following does NOT belong in the electromagnetic spectrum:
X-ray
sound wave
ultra violet rays
microwaves
Why does it take much less space to store digital information than analog information?
Digital devices only record pieces of sound waves, not full waves
Digital devices record sounds at lower volumes than analog devices
Digital devices decrease the amplitudes of sound waves, making them smaller
Digital devices automatically eliminate all background noise from the sounds they record
Select all that apply: Why are digital signals more reliable than analog signals?
They can be transmitted over long distances
They are better for long term storage of data (pictures, music, files, etc)
They are not as influenced by signal inference (noise)
They are not as reliable and analog signals are supreme in all ways. (Vinyl records, physical photos and clocks)
