6.P.1 (1.1, 1.2, & 1.3) Waves, Sound, & Light (snet)

Front

Which of these factors affects how fast a sound wave moves? Options: the kind of material it is moving through, the amplitude of the sound wave’s vibrations, the wavelength of the disturbance in the medium, the type of motion that caused the sound wave to form

Back

the kind of material it is moving through

Front

A crayon placed on a dark driveway in bright sunlight melted into a colorful puddle. What caused the crayon to melt?

Back

Solar radiation heated the driveway and then heat transferred to the crayon by conduction.

Front

What do waves carry through objects?

Back

energy

Front

The illustration shows a transverse wave. Which bar measures the wavelength of the wave? W, X, Y, Z

Back

Y

Front

This chart compares three different types of waves. How do the wave characteristics compare for these waves?

Back

Sound waves and P-waves are longitudinal waves, while light waves are transverse waves.

Front

What happens when potential energy is released during an earthquake?

Back

It generates seismic waves that spread out in all directions around Earth.

Front

How do the waves compare?

Back

Wave 1 has a longer wavelength than Wave 2.

Front

Look at this illustration of a wave. Which points on the wave are the trough and the crest?

Back

Point Y is a trough; Point W is a crest.

Front

Which statement correctly describes how a sound wave travels through air? Options: The wave carries molecules of air away from the source of the sound. The wave carries energy that causes molecules to move back and forth. The wave carries a molecule in one direction until it collides with another molecule. The wave moves through the air and gains energy from the moving molecules that it touches.

Back

The wave carries energy that causes molecules to move back and forth.

Front

What causes a seismic wave?

Back

sudden breaking of rock as it releases potential energy
