- 4. Multiple ChoiceEnergy can be transferred from one medium to another through _________.vibrationsstacking objectsan ordered sequencecolors
- 5. Multiple ChoiceWhich of these waves cannot travel in a vacuum?light wavesound waveelectromagnetic wavemicrowave
- 6. Multiple ChoiceWhich is true of a mechanical wave?It must have a mediumIt must travel in empty space.It can travel in a vacuum.Both sound and light are examples.
- 7. Multiple ChoiceWhat is the amplitude of a wave?the amount of time that occurs in one full cyclethe distance traveled by the wave during one full cyclethe amount of cycles that occur in a given timethe size of the disturbance
- 8. Multiple ChoiceWhat is the wavelength of a wave?the size of the disturbancethe amount of time that occurs in one full cyclethe distance between two crests of a wavethe amount of cycles that occur in a given time
- 9. Multiple ChoiceUnlike a transverse wave, the disturbance in a longitudinal wave isin a circular motion.parallel to the wave motion.perpendicular to the wave motion.in the opposite direction of the wave motion
- 10. Multiple ChoiceUnlike a longitudinal wave, the disturbance in a transverse wave isperpendicular to the wave motion.in a circular motion.parallel to the wave motion.in the opposite direction of the wave motion.
- 11. Multiple ChoiceA transverse wave can be created in a Slinky® by moving itside to side.in a circular motion.together and apart.up and down.
- 12. Multiple ChoiceWhen on a flat surface, giving the Slinky® a push or pulse will create a disturbancein the opposite direction of the wave motion.parallel to the wave motion.in a circle.perpendicular to the wave motion.
- 13. Multiple ChoiceWhich is true about a surface wave?It only has properties of transverse waves.It only has properties of longitudinal waves.has neither properties of transverse or longitudinal waves.It has properties of both transverse and longitudinal waves.
- 14. Multiple ChoiceWhich is true about surface waves?The disturbance is in a circular motion.The disturbance does not have a specific motion.Disturbance is only perpedicular to the motion of the wave.The disturbance is only parallel to the motion of the wave.
