Test answers
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
