Sound, Light And Seismic (Earthquake) Waves
Test Description: All about waves
Instructions: Answer all questions to get your test result.
1) Sound is a disturbance that travels through a medium as a
A
longitudinal wave.
B
transverse wave.
2) The speed of sound depends on
A
the pitch of the sound.
B
the medium and its temperature
3) The pitch of a sound that you hear depends on the sound wave’s
A
frequency
B
loudness
4) How are Earthquakes, sound, and light waves alike?
A
They transmit energy.
B
They carry matter.
5) Which best explains the relationship between the speed of sound and the medium through which it passes?
A
Sound travels faster in solids because of the decreased distance between solid particles.
B
Sound travels slower in air because of the increased distance between particles.
6) If you add thicker strings to your guitar. What does that do?
A
It changes the vibrations made by the guitar.
B
It changes the number of strings on the guitar.
7) When sound travels through air the air particles
A
vibrate along the direction of the wave (back and forth)
B
vibrate up and down
8) Sound waves do not travel through
A
vacuum (space)
B
solids
9) The speed of sound in medium depends upon
A
properties of the medium and its temperature
B
frequency
10) An example of longitudinal mechanical wave is
A
light
B
sound
11) The higher the frequency of the wave
A
the larger its wavelength
B
the shorter its wavelength
12) Sound waves travel faster in
A
cooler air as compared to warm air
B
warm air as compared to cooler air
13) Waves with longer wavelengths have
A
higher frequency
B
lower frequency
14) During an earthquake, three types of waves are created. All three waves arrive at a seismograph station at different times because
A
waves travel through different rocks at different rates of speed
B
waves slow down as they pass from one rock type to another.
15) What is the relationship between eyesight and light?
A
Light enters the eye before striking on object, allowing people to see the object
B
Light reflects off an object and then enters the eye, allowing people to see the object
16) Which best explains the relationship between the electromagnetic spectrum and sight?
A
visible light is the part of the electromagnetic spectrum that can be seen with the eye
B
ultraviolet light and infrared light are part of the electromagnetic spectrum that can be seen with the eye
17) Radio waves are part of electromagnetic spectrum. Radio waves are considered low frequency and low energy waves because
A
radio waves have longer wavelengths
B
radio waves have shorter wavelengths
