30s - Q5
Lomdon has two objects X and Y. Object X looks yellow and object Y looks black.Which statement best explains the color of an object
Object X is diffracting the yellow wavelength of light, and object Y is reflecting the yellow wavelength of light.
Object X is absorbing the yellow wavelength of light, and object Y is reflecting the yellow wavelength of light.
Object X is refracting the yellow wavelength of light, and object Y is reflecting the yellow wavelength of light.
Object X is reflecting the yellow wavelength of light, and object Y is absorbing the yellow wavelength of light.
30s - Q6
Which of the following best explain show the human eye see an object?
Light must be reflected by the object and then absorbed by the eye.
Light must be deflected by the object and then absorbed by the eye.
Light must be diffracted by the object and then absorbed by the eye
Light must be refracted by the object and then absorbed by the eye.
30s - Q7
Color blindness is the decrease in ability to see colors.Red - green color blindness is the most common form.Individuals who are color blind has difficultiy seeing different wavelength of light. Now there is new technology in the form of glasses that will allow a red -green color blind person to see these colors.
The glasses filter out all other wavelengths of light so the individual only sees the colors they could not see before.
The glasses change the way the wavelengths of light are filtered by the individual's eyes so they can see colors.
The glasses add the different wavelengths back into the light so the individual can see the different colors.
The glasses physically fix the individual's eyes so they can see the different wavelengths of light and the different colors.
30s - Q8
Which best describes white light in the visible spectrum
a mixture of only seven colors and wavelengths of visible light
a mixture of colors that cannot be broken up in the spectrum of visible light
a mixture of eevry wavelength and color of visible light
a mixture of only red, blue, and yellow wavelengths of visible light
30s - Q9
A student view a table of the speed of sound in three different materials. Which conclusion can be drawn based on the information in the table?
Sound travels slower in air because it has a higher density than the other materials
Sound travels faster in glass because it has a higher density than the other materials.
Sound travels faster in glass because it has a lower density than the other materials.
Sound travels slower in water because it has a lower density than the other materials.
30s - Q10
A sound waves passes from air into water and then into the steel.With each change of speed in the medium,what happens to the speed of the wave?
It decreases.
It increases, then decreases.
It increases.
It decreases, then increases.
30s - Q11
When Kyle walks across his tile floor in his kitchen, the sound of his shoes is loud and sharp. Which of the following best describes what would happen if he walked over carpet in the same shoes?
The sound waves would move slower through the carpet and at a lower frequency, resulting in a quieter sound.
The sound waves would move slower through the carpet and at a higher frequency, resulting in a quieter sound.
The sound waves would move faster through the carpet and at a lower frequency, resulting in a louder sound.
The sound waves would move faster through the carpet and at a higher frequency, resulting in a louder sound.
30s - Q12
Why are astronauts NOT able to hear rockets fire in space?
They are too far away from the engines to hear them.
The sound energy has nothing to travel through.
The engines are not loud enough to carry.
The atmosphere in space is too dense.
30s - Q13
London created a demonstration using sound echo. How could she demonstrates this?
She throws water at a wall, and it drips down the wall.
She throws a rubber ball at a wall, and it bounces back to her.
She throws an egg at a wall, and it breaks and falls to the floor.
She throws sand at a wall, and it hits the wall and falls to the floor.
30s - Q14
What is the difference between reflected and diffracted sound wave?
A reflected sound wave bounces back to the place of origin. A diffracted sound wave changes direction as it passes through an opening.
A reflected sound wave is absorbed by the medium. A sound wave changes direction as it passes through an opening.
A diffracted sound wave bounces back to the place of origin. A reflected sound wave changes direction as it passes through an opening.
A diffracted sound wave bounces back to the place of origin. A reflected sound wave is absorbed as it passes through an opening.
