- 3. Multiple Choice
Light waves and sound waves are similar in that...
They are both longitudinal waves
They are both transverse waves
They both transmit energy
They both can travel through space.
- 4. Multiple Choice
A wave of constant wavelength diffracts as it passes through an opening in a barrier. As the size of the opening is increased, the diffraction effects
decrease
increase
remain the same
- 5. Multiple Choice
The diagram shows a series of wave fronts approaching an opening in a barrier. Point P is located on the opposite side of the barrier. The wave fronts reach point P as a result of
resonance
refraction
reflection
diffraction
- 6. Multiple Choice
A wave is diffracted as it passes through an opening in a barrier. The amount of diffraction that the wave undergoes depends on both the
amplitude and frequency of the incident wave
wavelength and speed of the incident wave
wavelength of the incident wave and the size of the opening
amplitude of the incident wave and the size of the opening
- 7. Multiple Choice
