- Q2The distance shown in the diagram is known as thetrough.wavelength.crest.amplitude.30s6.P.1.1
- Q3How does sonar detect an object in water?by sending sound waves that are absorbed by the objectby sending sound waves that measure the object’s temperatureby sending sound waves to detect the composition of the objectby sending sound waves that reflect off the object30s6.P.1.1
- Q4Which causes an object to appear green?While reflecting all the other colors in the visible spectrum, it scatters greenWhile scattering all the other colors in the visible spectrum, it reflects green.While reflecting all the other colors in the visible spectrum, it absorbs green.While absorbing all the other colors in the visible spectrum, it reflects green.30s6.P.1.2
- Q5Which statement best describes white light after it passes through a prism?The white light has no electromagnetic energy.The white light contains ultraviolet energy.The white light is a combination of the wavelengths of red and blue.The white light is a combination of all wavelengths of the visible spectrum.30s6.P.1.2
- Q6Which color has the highest frequency?greenredyellowviolet30s6.P.1.2
- Q7The leaves of a plant appear to be green because the green light waves areboth absorbed and reflected.neither absorbed or reflected.absorbed.reflected.30s6.P.1.2
- Q8How do foam earplugs affect the sound a person hears?The foam increases the amount of energy in the sound vibrationsThe foam increases the rate of sound vibrationThe foam reduces the rate of sound vibration.The foam reduces the amount of energy in the sound vibrations.30s6.P.1.3
- Q9Why do people tend to cup their hands around listeners' ears when whispering to them?Sound waves from a whisper are short; they will not reach the ear unless guided by a hand.A cupped hand makes the sound echo so the listener can hear more clearly.The ear cannot absorb sound waves produced by a whisper without a cupped hand.A cupped hand, can direct sound waves into the ear of the listener.30s6.P.1.3
- Q10While tuning a guitar, you realize one of the strings is not the right thickness. The pitch needs to be higher in order for the guitar to be tuned properly. What should you do to get a higher pitch?use a thinner string.use a much shorter stringpluck the string with more forceuse a thicker string.30s6.P.1.3
