When a rope is moved up and down between two people, a wave is formed. The up and down movement of the rope from person to person is most likely used to model how energy is
always conserved.
converted by gravity.
lost to the environment.
transferred through a medium.
This illustration shows a sound wave traveling from a tuning fork through a medium. How can the wavelength be determined?
by comparing the width of the bands at X and at Y
by comparing the number of particles at X and at Y
by measuring the distance between two points labeled X
by measuring the distance between a point labeled X and a point labeled Y
This illustration shows three different waves traveling through the same medium. How do the waves differ from one another?
The waves travel at different speeds.
The waves have different wavelengths.
The waves carry different amounts of energy.
The waves are a different distance from the source.
The diagram below shows a student forming waves using a rope. Which statement best describes what happens to the wavelength and amplitude of the wave when the student increases the upward and downward force?
The amplitude increases, but the wavelength decreases.
The amplitude increases, but the wavelength stays the same.
The amplitude decreases, but the wavelength increases.
The amplitude stays the same, but the wavelength increases.
The charts below show sound waves from a musical instrument. In which way is the sound wave in Chart 1 different from the sound wave in Chart 2?
it has a higher pitch
it has a lower volume
it has a greater amplitude
it has a lower frequency
A teacher draws two sound waves with different amplitudes on the board. Which statement best compares the two waves?
The pitch of the sound decreased in Figure 2.
The loudness of the sound decreased in Figure 2.
The velocity of the sound increased in Figure 2.
The wavelength of the sound increased in Figure 2.
Use the two sound wave patterns from an oscilloscope to answer the question that follows. How does Wave 1 compare to Wave 2?

Wave 1 is quieter and higher pitched than Wave 2.
Wave 1 is louder and lower pitched than Wave 2.
Wave 1 is quieter and lower pitched than Wave 2.
Two waves have the following waveforms. Which conclusion can best be supported by the illustrations?
Wave A has higher frequency.
Wave A is an ultraviolet wave.
Wave B has greater energy.
Wave B is a visible light wave.
