• X ray

Sound waves are which type of wave?

• longitudinal wave

• transverse wave

Anna studied a graph of a wave. If she wanted to find out the wavelength, from which points should she measure?

• 1 to 3

• 2 to 4

• 3 to 5

• 1 to 5

Vibrations in the air formed by hitting a drum form

• radiation

• light

• electricity

• sound

Megan was making a drawing showing the different parts of a wave. Which number should she label as the amplitude of the wave?

• 1

• 2

• 3

• 4

When someones playing the flute, the sound is produced because the air in the flute is

• hot

• neutral

• vibrating

• vaproizing

How does sound usually travel?

• An object vibrates, and those vibrations travel through the air in one direction as transverse waves

• An object vibrates, and those vibrations carry air in one direction as longitudinal waves.

• An object vibrates, and those vibrations carry air in all directions as transverse waves

• An object vibrates, and those vibrations travel through the air in all directions as longitudinal waves.
