Types And Properties Of Wave Review Question Preview (ID: 30653)

a) Our eyes trick us into perceiving something that matches reality

b) Our eyes trick us into perceiving something that does not match reality

c) A magician puts a spell on us.

d) Only in the presence of many mirrors that are designed to trick the eyes.

a) The heart pumps blood to the brain which then sends signals to the air converting vibrations into sound waves

b) The brain receives vibrations as sound waves which are converted to signals that are processed by the ear

c) The ear receives vibrations as sound waves which are converted to signals that are processed by the brain

d) The lungs make a sound which is heard by our ears and then sent to the brain to be converted into sound waves.

a) vocal cords produce air pressure vibrating lungs which chop up airflow into audible pulses projected by the larynx

b) larnyx produces air pressure vibrating vocal cords which chop up airflow into audible pulses projected by the lungs

c) lungs produce air pressure vibrating vocal cords which chop up airflow into audible pulses projected by the larynx

d) The lungs pump blood from the heart which is then converted to sound by the brain

a) Light waves can only travel in outer space.

b) Light waves can only travel through a vacuum

c) Light ways can only travel through a matter

d) Light waves are able to travel through a vacuum and through matter

a) through solids, because the particles of a solid are close together making it easy for the sound to bridge across

b) through solids because the particles of a solids are spread farther apart allowing much space for sound to move through

c) through liquids because liquids are slower than the other states of matter

d) through gases because the particles of gases move faster than other states of matter.

a) it crest and trough

b) its frequency and amplitude

c) its compression and rarefaction

d) its range of light on the electromagnetic spectrum

a) visible light

b) invisible light

c) gamma rays

d) x-rays

a) Only the properties of the light

b) the properties of the light and the angle and type of object when it hits the light

c) The properties of the object and the angle and type of light when it hits the object

d) Only the properties of the object

a) as differences of pitch

b) as differences of amplitude

c) as differences of the speed of light

d) as differences of color

a) A vibration occurs close enough that it is heard by someone.

b) by the vibration of materials which creates wave that move through matter

c) by the transmission of light

d) by the reflection of energy waves coming from the sun

a) Nearly all waves transmit matter and move through energy.

b) Nearly all waves transmit matter and energy

c) Nearly all waves transmit energy and move through matter.

d) Waves do not transmit energy or move through matter

a) by how fast the wave spreads, and the distance between the peaks of waves (wavelength

b) by how long the wave remains stationary and the beginning point of the wave

c) by how far the wave moves, and how long it takes for it to move

d) by how much matter the wave transfers, and how much energy it holds in place.
