Waves Unit Review
2
Wave Vocabulary
Crest - high point
Trough - low point
Amplitude - height of wave
Wavelength - distance between crests/troughs
Frequency - number of waves in given amount of time
3
Multiple Select
Choose all of the statements that are true about the characteristics of waves.
As frequency increases, wavelength decreases.
The higher the amplitude, the louder a sound is.
If a wave interferes with another wave, the result is always a bigger wave than the original waves.
As amplitude increases, wavelength decreases.
4
Multiple Choice
What is another name for wave height (distance from the resting point to the crest)?
wavelength
amplitude
frequency
crest
5
Multiple Choice
Which wave in this diagram has the greatest frequency?
1
2
3
4
6
Multiple Choice
Which letter represents a wavelength?
A
B
D
E
7
Multiple Choice
Which of these graphs indicate a wave that has more energy?
The top one because the amplitude is a fraction.
The bottom one because the amplitude is higher.
They both have the same amount of energy because they have the same wavelength.
They both have the same amount of energy because they have the same frequency.
8
Particles move parallel to the disturbance
Sound waves are an example
Looks like a slinky
Longitudinal
Particles move perpendicular to the disturbance (opposite direction)
Light waves are an example
Looks like a roller coaster
Transverse
Transverse vs Longitudinal
9
Multiple Choice
In a longitudinal wave, how do the individual particles move?
back and forth 90 degrees from the direction of the wave (perpendicular)
along the wave the same speed as the wave travels
back and forth in the same direction as the wave (parallel)
10
Multiple Choice
What kind of wave is this modeling?
Transverse
Longitudinal
11
Multiple Choice
Generally speaking, sound travels fastest through which type of medium?
liquids
solids
gasses
12
Multiple Select
Which of these are advantages of using a digital signal instead of an analog signal?
Select all that are correct
infinite data values
easier to transport
processing is easy
better security
13
Refraction is the change in direction of a wave that occurs as the wave changes speed when moving form one medium to another
Refraction
Reflection is the bouncing of a wave off a surface
Reflection
Reflection or Refraction?
14
Multiple Choice
Why does this straw look like it is in two pieces?
because there are two straws, one of them is taped to the top of the cup, the other is in the water
because the light is bending, or refracting, as it goes into the water from the air, causing us to see it differently
because the light is reflecting, or bouncing off of the water, causing another straw to appear
because the straw is broken
15
Multiple Choice
An echo is when a sound wave bounces off of something and goes back to the sound maker. Bats use it to know where to fly and fishermen use it find fish under water. What type of wave interaction is an echo?
refraction
diffusion
reflection
16
Transverse wave
Can travel through a vacuum
Example is ultraviolet
Faster moving wave
Has many frequencies on electromagnetic spectrum
Light Waves
Longitudinal (compression) wave
Must travel through a medium
An example is music
Slower moving wave
Age affects the ear's ability to hear high/low vibrations
Sound Waves
Sound vs. Light
17
Multiple Choice
Use the chart to answer the question.
List these substances by how fast sound travels through them, from SLOWEST to FASTEST.
