- Q11. A wave in which the disturbance is parallel to the direction the wave travels is called a...Longitudinal WaveMedium WaveTransverse WavePerpendicular Wave30s
- Q22. Which of the following examples shows energy being transferred by a wave?Energy from a vibrating drumhead is transferred to the ear of a listener.To make it move, a rider transfers energy to a bicycle by pedaling.A child transfers energy to a pinwheel by blowing on it.An electric current in a copper wire transfers energy to a toaster.30s
- Q33. Which of the following is true about these waves?Wave A is a transverse wave and Wave B is a longitudinal wave.Wave A has a greater amplitude than Wave B.Wave A carries more energy than Wave B.Wave B carries more energy than Wave A.30s
- Q44. Think about longitudinal waves. Which of the following is an example of energy being transferred by a longitudinal wave?A pebble falls in water and ripples travel along the surface.Two students hold a spring at either end, and one student pushes and pulls the spring back and forth.A child shakes the free end of a skipping rope that is tied to a tree.Two students hold a spring at either end, and one student shakes the end of the spring up and down.30s
- Q55. A wave in which the disturbance is perpendicular to the direction the wave travels is called....Medium WaveTransverse WavePerpendicular WaveLongitudinal Wave30s
- Q66. What is true about the sound waves pictured below?b. They have the same amplitudea and c are both true - They have the same frequency AND same wavelength.c. They have the same wavelengtha. They have the same frequency30s
- Q77. What is the part of the wave called that contains the star?crest/peakamplitudewavelengthtrough30s
- Q88. Students in Dr. Jeff's class were conducting an investigation with a slinky to test different types of waves. Some of their lab results are shown below. What type of wave is represented by this part of the investigation?This investigation represents a transverse wave because the wave moved parallel to the direction the strings moved.This investigation represents a longitudinal wave because the wave moved parallel to the direction the strings moved.This investigation represents a longitudinal wave because the wave moved perpendicular to the direction the strings moved.This investigation represents a transverse wave because the wave moved perpendicular to the direction the strings moved.30s
- Q99. Which of the following is NOT an example of a transverse wave?30s
- Q1010. Observe the diagram below. In which direction does the longitudinal wave move? How do we know?The wave is moving to the right because the compressions move to the left over time.The wave is moving to the right because the compressions move to the right over time.The wave is moving up and down because the compressions move side to side.The wave is moving to the left because the compressions move to the left over time.30s
