Types And Properties Of Wave Review
Test Description: Students Review the Types and Properties of Waves
Instructions: Answer all questions to get your test result.
1) What is the relationship between waves, energy and matter?
A
Waves do not transmit energy or move through matter
B
Nearly all waves transmit matter and move through energy.
C
Nearly all waves transmit matter and energy
D
Nearly all waves transmit energy and move through matter.
2) What are the two ways in which wave behavior can be described?
A
by how much matter the wave transfers, and how much energy it holds in place.
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 fast the wave spreads, and the distance between the peaks of waves (wavelength
3) How is sound produced?
A
by the transmission of light
B
A vibration occurs close enough that it is heard by someone.
C
by the vibration of materials which creates wave that move through matter
D
by the reflection of energy waves coming from the sun
4) How are differences of wavelength perceived on the electromagnetic spectrum?
A
as differences of pitch
B
as differences of the speed of light
C
as differences of color
D
as differences of amplitude
5) Which narrow range of the electromagnetic spectrum is detected by the human eye?
A
x-rays
B
invisible light
C
gamma rays
D
visible light
6) What determines whether light is absorbed or reflected by an object?
A
Only the properties of the object
B
The properties of the object and the angle and type of light when it hits the object
C
Only the properties of the light
D
the properties of the light and the angle and type of object when it hits the light
7) Which characteristics of a sound wave determine its pitch and loudness?
A
its compression and rarefaction
B
it crest and trough
C
its frequency and amplitude
D
its range of light on the electromagnetic spectrum
8) Through which state of matter do sound waves travel the fastest and why?
A
through liquids because liquids are slower than the other states of matter
B
through gases because the particles of gases move faster than other states of matter.
C
through solids because the particles of a solids are spread farther apart allowing much space for sound to move through
D
through solids, because the particles of a solid are close together making it easy for the sound to bridge across
9) How are light waves different from P-waves and sound waves?
A
Light waves are able to travel through a vacuum and through matter
B
Light waves can only travel through a vacuum
C
Light waves can only travel in outer space.
D
Light ways can only travel through a matter
10) How do the lungs vocal cords, and larynx work together to produce sound?
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
11) How do optical illusions occur?
A
Our eyes trick us into perceiving something that does not match reality
B
A magician puts a spell on us.
C
Only in the presence of many mirrors that are designed to trick the eyes.
D
Our eyes trick us into perceiving something that matches reality
12) How do the brain and ear work together to process sound waves?
A
The ear receives vibrations as sound waves which are converted to signals that are processed by the brain
B
The brain receives vibrations as sound waves which are converted to signals that are processed by the ear
C
The heart pumps blood to the brain which then sends signals to the air converting vibrations into sound waves
D
The lungs make a sound which is heard by our ears and then sent to the brain to be converted into sound waves.
