- Q1
Which medium is least likely to allow sound waves to travel through it?
vacuum
liquid
solid
gas
30s6.P.1.3 - Q2
Which term is best described as the point in a longitudinal wave where molecules are squeezed together as a result of disturbance?
compression
frequency
pitch
volume
30s6.P.1.3 - Q3
Why does sound travel slower through gas than it travels through a liquid or a solid?
because gas molecules are sliding past one another
because gas molecules are farther apart
because gas molecules are tightly bound
because gas molecules are vibrating at constant rates
30s6.P.1.3 - Q4
While replacing strings on a guitar, a student notices that strings are of different thicknesses. Which best explains why he heard a difference when plucking each guitar string?
Strings with large diameters tend to vibrate slower and have lower frequencies.
Strings with small diameters tend to vibrate slower and have lower frequencies.
Strings with large diameters tend to vibrate faster and have lower frequencies
Strings with small diameters tend to vibrate faster and have lower frequencies.
