Light rays are focused by the lens of a camera through the process of

• refraction.

• reflection.

• dispersion.

• diffraction.

Earth receives heat from the Sun because energy is

• refracted as light energy.

• carried by high-speed molecules.

• radiated across a vacuum.

• conducted through space.

Which of these factors affects how fast a sound wave moves?

• the kind of material it is moving through

• the amplitude of the sound wave's vibrations

• the type of motion that caused the sound wave to form

• the wavelength of the disturbance in the medium

A ship is mapping the structure of the ocean floor using sonar technology. Which statement describes the basic method used in this type of mapping?

• A sound wave is sent from the ship and reflects off the ocean floor back to a receiver on the ship.

• A radio wave is sent from the ship and reflects off the ocean floor back to a receiver on the ship.

• A sound wave is sent by the ship and is absorbed by the ocean floor.

• A radio wave is sent by the ship and is absorbed by the ocean floor.
