    Science Game? I did this I need to know if I'm Correct?

    1. Which statement describes a surface wave?
    A surface wave is a type of electromagnetic wave.
    A surface wave is a wave that travels through space.
    A surface wave is a wave that moves along the interface of two different materials, like air and water.


    2. Particle motion in surface waves is __________ motion.
    only longitudinal

    only transverse

    a combination of longitudinal and transverse

    neither longitudinal nor transverse



    3. What does frequency describe?
    depth of a wave
    distance from crest to crest or from trough to trough on a wave
    how often the particles of a medium vibrate
    height of a wave


    4. Particles in a __________ wave move in an elliptical or circular motion.
    surface
    sound
    longitudinal
    transverse


    5. In which type of wave is energy transmitted in a definite direction and with a definite speed?
    standing wave

    traveling wave

    breaking wave

    low-breaking wave



    6. A __________ is described as a wave that is not confined to the space along the medium.
    tsunami

    breaking wave

    standing wave

    traveling wave



    7. Which type of wave appears to vibrate in place?
    tsunami

    breaking wave

    standing wave

    traveling wave



    8. If two waves with identical crests and troughs meet, what is happening?
    The wave is reflecting.
    The wave is breaking.
    Constructive interference is occurring.
    Destructive interference is occurring.




    11. Which of the following is the best definition of longitudinal wave?
    In a longitudinal wave, particle displacement is opposite to the direction of wave motion.
    In a longitudinal wave, particle displacement is perpendicular to the direction of wave motion.
    In a longitudinal wave, particle displacement is parallel to the direction of wave motion.
    In a longitudinal wave, particle displacement is above the direction of wave motion.


    12. In the Waves lab, you changed __________ to see how it would affect wave speed.
    how hard you plucked the string
    length of string
    tension of string
    type of string


    13. In the Waves lab, which type of wave did you produce?
    surface wave

    longitudinal wave

    transverse wave



    14. What is a compression?
    region of high pressure in a medium caused by a passing wave
    region of high altitude in a medium caused by a passing wave
    region of low pressure in a medium caused by a passing wave
    region of zero pressure in a medium caused by a passing wave


    15. A mechanical wave is a wave that __________ its energy.
    does require a medium to transfer
    does not transfer
    does not require a medium to transfer


    7. Which of the following statements best describes wavelength?
    Wavelength is the same as pitch.
    Wavelength is the length of one complete wave cycle.
    Wavelength is the length of two complete wave cycles.
    Wavelength is the speed at which a wave travels.


    18. How are musical instruments grouped?
    by what they are made of
    by the wavelengths they produce
    by their frequency
    by the pitch they produce


    19. If a car passes a pedestrian, a change in pitch is __________.
    perceived by the pedestrian
    perceived by the driver
    not perceived by either the pedestrian or the driver


    20. In the Doppler Effect lab, which statement best describes what you demonstrated about speed and pitch?
    Direction affects pitch but not speed.
    Speed and direction affect pitch.
    Speed affects pitch but not direction.
    Speed and direction do not affect pitch.


    21. When waves are closely spaced together, how would you describe the pitch that you hear?
    high

    low

    the same as when waves are spaced far apart

    Test answers

    #1- Surface wave is a type of electromagnetic wave
    #2- Only transverse
    #3- Distance from crest to crest or from trough to trough on a wave
    #7- Wavelength is one complete wave cycle
    #8- Constructive interference is occurring
    #11- In a longitudinal wave, particle displacement is parellel to the direction of wave motion
    #15- Does require a medium to transfer
    #18- By the pitch they produce
    #19- Perceived by the pedestrian
    #20- Speed and direction affect pitch
    #21- High

    I took this same test, those are the only questions i remember though. Hope this helps you! : - )
