a) Wave A
b) Wave B
c) Wave C
d) Wave D

Which of the following best explains why the duck only moved up and down as the wave passed by?


a) All waves transmit energy not matter
b) All waves transmit matter not energy
c) All waves travel in an up and down motion
d) All waves travel in back and forth motion

Which of the following best explains why light from distant stars can travel through the vacuum of space?
a) Light waves are electromagnetic waves that require a medium to transmit energy
b) Light waves are mechanical waves that do not require a medium to transmit energy
c) Light waves are longitudinal waves that require a medium to transmit energy
d) Light waves are electromagnetic waves that do not require a medium to transmit energy

Which of the following best explains what will happen to the sound of the bell when all the air is pumped out of the bell jar?


a) The bell will stop ringing because there is no medium to allow the bell to continue ringing.
b) The bell will continue to ring but it will not be heard because there is no medium to transmit the sound waves.
c) The bell will continue to ring and will still be heard because sound waves do not require medium to transmit the sound waves
d) The bell will stop ringing eventually because the sound waves will continue to reflect off the bell jar until the energy run
