Show answers
- Q1How do the air molecules in a sound wave move?BackwardsTo and froup and downDiagonally120s
- Q2The areas of compression and rarefaction in a sound wave cause a force on solids or liquids. That is why we can call sound......A pressure waveA loud waveA transverse waveAn electromagnetic wave120s
- Q3Sound waves are longitudinal waves. This means that the particles...Oscillate (vibrate) in the same direction as the movement of the waveReact together in a chemical reactionOscillate (vibrate) at 90 degrees to the movement of the waveOscillate (vibrate) diagonally to the movement of the wave120s
- Q4How does a microphone work?It converts a changing potential difference to changes in air pressureIt converts changes in air pressure to a changing potential differenceIt converts changes in volume to an oscilloscopeIt converts changes in air pressure to a force120s
- Q5How does a loudpeaker work?It converts changes in air pressure to a changing potential differenceIt converts changes in movement to a changing potential differenceIt converts a changing kinetic energy into changes in air pressureIt converts a changing potential diffrence to changes in air pressure120s
- Q6This baby can hear between 20Hz and 20 000Hz, but it can't hear ultrasound noises. Why not?Ultrasound is below 20HzUltrasound is above 2000HzUltrasound is above 20 000HzUltrasound is too quiet120s
- Q7Ultrasound interacts with solids or liquids, making the particles vibrate. Apart from scanning, what else can it be used for?Sun tan bedsRemote controlsLooking for broken bonesCleaning equipment120s
- Q8Fill in the missing parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. Radio waves- microwaves-? - visible light- ultraviolet- ? - ?Infrared, X-rays, Gamma raysSound, Infrared, Gamma raysGamma rays, X-rays, InfraredInfrared, sound, X-rays120s
- Q9Gamma waves has the highest energy. Why?Lowest frequency and longest wavelengthHighest frequency and shortest wavelengthHighest frequency and highest wavelengthLowest frequency and lowest wavelength120s
- Q10Waves with a high energy can knock electrons out of atoms in a living cell This can go on to produce cancer. What do we call this?LongitudinalElectromagneticTransverseIonisation120s
- Q11Electromagnetic waves with a low frequency and energy have a heating effect. Which are these?Radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visibleInfrared, visible, ultravioletRadio waves, visible, X-raysUltraviolet, X-rays, gamma120s
- Q12The slinky is modelling transvese waves. How can we tell?The oscillation (vibration) is diagonal to the movement of the waveThe oscillation (vibration) is 90 degrees to the movement of the waveThe oscillation (vibration) is parallel to the movement of the waveThe oscillation (vibration) is independent to the movement of the wave120s
- Q13This ripple tank is showing the reflection of a wave. How can we tell?The angle of incidence (in) is smaller than the angle of reflection (out)The angle of incidence (in) is equal to the angle of reflection (out)The angle of incidence (in) is bigger than the angle of reflection (out)The angle of incidence (in) has no relationship to the angle of reflection (out)120s
- Q14This diagram shows light changing direction and moving through a glass block. What do we call this?RefractionTransmissionReflectionDispersion120s
- Q15Which term do we give to waves when thay add up or cancel out?DispersionRefractionReflectionSuperpose120s
