  • Q12
    12. A band has many different musical instruments. Each instrument is played differently. In which way are all musical instruments alike?
    They all make sound waves with the same amplitude.
    They all send sound waves in only one direction.
    They all make sound waves when two objects strike one another.
    They all use a vibration to make sound waves.

  • Q13
    Which of these factors affects how fast a sound wave moves?
    the kind of material it is moving through
    the wavelength of the disturbance in the medium
    the type of motion that caused the sound wave to form
    the amplitude of the sound wave’s vibrations

  • Q14
    How are electromagnetic waves different
    They can change direction by reflection when they strike an object.
    They transmit energy instead of matter.
    How are electromagnetic waves different
    They can travel through a vacuum and through matter.

  • Q15
    Two seismographs are placed 500 km from an active fault line, one on each side of the active fault line. During an earthquake, what MOST likely accounts for the different readings on the seismographs?
    the pull of gravity on the waves
    the differences in the strength of the waves’ origins
    the interaction of light with waves
    the different media through which the waves travel
