Here is a group of students discussing what they just learned in science class. Margo is arguing that pink is the best color to wear at the beach. Juan steps in and says the best color to wear in sunny weather is black because it's cooling. Daphne laughs at them both and claims white is the best color because it's reflecting. Kewon thinks it doesn't matter what color you wear, they're all the same thing. Who is correct in this scenario?
Margo is correct. Pink has no dark tones and so it promotes good reflection.
Juan is correct. Black reflects all colors and is cooling to wear.
Daphne is correct. White reflects all colors and is cooling to wear.
Kewon is correct. All colors reflect the same amount of light. There is no temperature difference.
How do animals and even some humans communicate using the reflection of sound waves?
They use echolocation.
They use resonance.
They use sign language.
They use thermal energy.
The band room gets very loud while the students are playing. This can be distracting to classrooms down the hallway. The sound waves are able to bend around obstacles like the door which is why the sound carries down the hallway. What wave property is demonstrated in this example?
Refraction
Diffraction
Reflection
Absorption
What is complete destructive interference?
When 2 waves are moving in the same direction and the resulting amplitude is greater.
When 2 waves are moving in the opposite direction and the resulting amplitude is greater.
When 2 waves are moving in the same direction and the amplitude is missing.
When 2 waves are moving in the opposite direction and the amplitude is zero.
What is the new amplitude of the resulting wave at point K?
2
4
6
8
What type of interference is modeled here?
Constructive interference
Destructive interference
Addition interference
Subtraction interference
What occurs when vibrations traveling through an object match the object's natural frequency? We use this to tune instruments and make sure their sounds match.
Reflection
Diffraction
Resonance
Refraction
What unit is used to measure the intensity of sound waves? (measure of loudness)
Amplitude
Decibels (dB)
Frequency
Hertz (Hz)
If a sound wave has a large amplitude, it will sound...
Softer
Louder
In echos
Muted
Which person hears the police siren at a higher frequency?
Person A
Person B
The officer in the car
Both A and B hear the same frequency
How are pitch and frequency related?
Pitch and frequency are not related.
The higher the frequency the lower the pitch
The lower the frequency the higher the pitch
The higher the frequency the higher the pitch
If you are in the car and you start honking your horn at the person in the road as you go by, how will the Doppler effect change what you hear as you drive?
The frequency will increase in the car.
The frequency will decrease in the car.
The frequency will stay the same in the car.
The frequency will drop to zero.
