Review Check 2- Types And Properties Of Waves
Test Description: Students are assessed on their knowledge of the types and properties of waves
Instructions: Answer all questions to get your test result.
1) Which is an accurate description of waves?
A
Waves are disturbances that spread away from a source and carry energy as they spread.
B
All waves are disturbances that travel in up and down motions carrying energy as they move.
C
All waves are disturbances that move in straight line carrying energy as they move
D
Waves are disturbances that spread away form a source but do not carry energy as they spread
2) Besides ocean waves, what are the three main types of waves?
A
sound waves, light waves, and P-waves
B
light waves, electromagnetic waves, and heat waves
C
Seismic waves, P-waves, and sound waves
D
P-waves, S-waves, and seismic waves
3) What are the two main classifications of wave movement?
A
longitudinal and transverse
B
seismic and electromagnetic
C
Mechanical and motionless
D
primary and secondary
4) How do sound waves compare to P-waves and light waves?
A
sound waves and P-waves are transverse while light waves are longitudinal
B
sound waves and light waves are longitudinal while P-waves are transverse
C
light waves and P-waves are longitudinal while sound waves are transverse
D
sound waves and P-waves are longitudinal while light waves are transverse
5) Through which state of matter does sound travel the fastest?
A
Sound travels through all states of matter at the same speed.
B
Through solids because the particles of solids are packed closer together making it easy for sound to bridge across
C
through liquids because of the slow movement of liquid particles
D
Through gases because the particles of gases travel faster than those of solids
6) What are the three basic properties of a sound wave?
A
translucent, opaque, and transparent
B
transverse, longitudinal, and compressional
C
crests, troughs, and compressions
D
amplitude, frequency, and pitch
7) How are light waves different from sound waves and P-waves?
A
light waves have crests and troughs while sound waves and P-waves have compressions and rarefactions
B
light waves are always clearly visible while sound waves and P-waves can not be seen
C
light waves travel at slower speeds than sound waves and P-waves
D
light waves have compressions and rarefactions while sound waves and P-waves have crests and troughs
8) What term is given to the distance between a certain point on one transverse wave to the same point on the next transverse wave?
A
crest
B
trough
C
wavelength
D
amplitude
9) Which of the following statements most accurately describe the points of a transverse wave?
A
The trough is the highest point of a transverse wave, while the crest is the lowest point.
B
There is no way to plot points on a transverse wave because transverse waves travel in a straight line
C
The crest and trough of a transverse waves are the points that meet in the middle point between the highest and lowest points
D
The crest is the highest point of a transverse wave, while the trough is the lowest point
10) P-waves are the result of:
A
light rays emitted from the sun
B
loud concerts in arenas packed full of people
C
natural disasters that shake the Earth
D
tinkling in a toilet
11) What is the difference between the dependent variable and the independent variable in an experiment?
A
The dependent variable stays the same at all times in an experiment, the independent variable changes to test the hypothesis
B
The dependent variable is changed to test the hypothesis, the independent variable may change due to the dependent variable
C
The independent variable receives the experimental treatment while the dependent variable is the experimental control
D
The independent variable is changed to test the hypothesis, the dependent variable may change due to the independent variable
12) What is the main purpose of including a control in the design of an experiment
A
to increase the chances of the experiment supporting the hypothesis
B
to decrease the chances of the experiment supporting the hypothesis
C
to test the effect of more than one variable.
D
to ensure the results obtained are due to a difference in only one variable
