- Q1
Which claim best describes the relationship between the frequency and wavelength of waves in the electromagnetic spectrum?
Waves with a higher frequency have a shorter wavelength.
Waves with a higher frequency have a longer wavelength.
Waves with a lower frequency have a shorter wavelength.
There is no relationship between frequency and wavelength of waves.
30sMS-PS4-1 - Q2
A student wants to develop a model that demonstrates the transmission of waves. Which concept should the student include in the model to show how the transmission of visible light is different from the transmission of sound waves?
Light and sound waves can be transmitted through space.
Light can be transmitted through different forms of matter, but sound waves can only be transmitted through space.
Light can be transmitted through space and matter, but sound waves can only be transmitted through matter.
Light can be transmitted only through space, and sound waves can be transmitted through space and matter.
30sMS-PS4-2 - Q3
Based on the behavior of these visible light rays, which claim can be made about materials A or B?
Material A is transparent because the light ray is transmitted.
Material A is transparent because the light ray is absorbed.
Material B is transparent because the light ray is transmitted.
Material B is transparent because the light ray is absorbed.

What difference is shown between infrared light and ultraviolet light?
the speeds at which they travel
the material through which they are traveling
their wavelengths
their wave heights
30s - Q5What happens after sensory receptors detect a bright light?They transmit sound waves to alert the brain.They send signals to the brain, which processes the information and may adjust pupil size.They immediately cause the eyes to close without brain involvement.They convert the light into vitamins stored in the eye.30sMS-LS1-8
- Q6Which of the following best describes the process that occurs when you touch a hot surface?Your muscles automatically react without involving the brain.The skin begins to sweat to cool down the surface.The hot surface transfers energy directly to the nerves, bypassing the brain.Sensory receptors in the skin detect the heat and send signals to the brain, resulting in a quick reaction.30sMS-LS1-8
- Q7If the energy of a wave quadruples, how does the amplitude of the wave change?The amplitude remains the same.The amplitude doubles.The amplitude triples.The amplitude halves.30sMS-PS4-1
- Q8Which statement correctly describes the relationship between wave amplitude and wave energy?Wave energy is inversely proportional to the amplitude.Wave energy is directly proportional to the amplitude.Wave energy is proportional to the square of the amplitude.Wave energy is inversely proportional to the square of the amplitude.30sMS-PS4-1
- Q9When light waves encounter a mirror, what happens to the waves?The waves are reflected.The waves are transmitted.The waves are absorbed.The waves are scattered.30sMS-PS4-2
- Q10What occurs when sound waves enter a thick curtain?The waves are reflected.The waves are transmitted.The waves increase in speed.The waves are absorbed.30sMS-PS4-2
- Q11What happens to a light wave as it passes through a glass window?The waves are absorbed.The waves are transmitted.The waves are scattered.The waves are reflected.30sMS-PS4-2
- Q12What happens to radio waves when they encounter a metal surface?The waves are refracted.The waves are transmitted.The waves are reflected.The waves are absorbed.30sMS-PS4-2
- Q13Which of the following statements best supports the claim that digitized signals are more reliable than analog signals?Analog signals can carry more information per second.Analog signals degrade over distance and time.Digitized signals require more storage space.Digitized signals can be easily regenerated without loss of quality.30sMS-PS4-3
- Q14Why are digitized signals less susceptible to noise compared to analog signals?Analog signals have infinite resolution.Analog signals can be easily converted to digital.Digitized signals have more complex waveforms.Digitized signals use discrete values which can be easily distinguished.30sMS-PS4-3
- Q15What makes digitized signals more efficient for processing in modern computing systems compared to analog signals?Analog signals require simpler algorithms.Analog signals have higher processing speeds.Digitized signals can be processed using binary code.Digitized signals bypass the need for wires.30sMS-PS4-3
