A musician wants to build a sound studio in his home but is concerned about disturbing his family. He also does not want to cause the sound inside the room to have echoes, which occurs when the sound waves bounce back after hitting the walls. He decides to line the walls of his studio with a material called polyurethane foam. Why did the musician decide to use polyurethane foam to line the walls of the sound studio?

The foam absorbs the sound waves without reflecting them back into the room.

The foam reduces the amount of reflection by allowing the sound to transmit through the walls.

The foam allows the sound waves to transmit through the walls without reflecting back into the room.

The foam reflects the sound waves into the room and prevents them from transmitting through the walls.

Which statement BEST describes what happens to the materials as the temperature increases?

The energy of the particle vibrations increase, which increases the speed of the sound.

The energy of the particle vibrations increase, which decreases the speed of the sound.

The energy of the particle vibrations decrease, which increases the speed of the sound.

The energy of the particle vibrations decrease, which decreases the speed of the sound.

How do human eyes see color?

The human eye sees the wavelength of light that is reflected by an object, and each color of light is a separate wavelength.

The human eye sees all wavelengths of light that are absorbed by an object, and all colors are the same wavelength of light.

The human eye sees the wavelength of light that is absorbed by an object, and each color of light is a separate wavelength.

What is true about visible light?

Visible light waves are the only electromagnetic waves humans can see.

Visible light has a longer wavelength than infrared radiation.

Visible light is incapable of creating chemical changes in materials.

Visible light is created only when an object becomes hot.

Light travels in waves. Which of the following statements about light waves is NOT true?

They can travel through any substance.

They can come from natural or artificial sources.

They change direction when they are reflected or refracted.

Marcy has two objects, X and Y. Object X looks yellow, and object Y looks black. Which statement best explains the color of the objects?

Object X is reflecting the yellow wavelength of light, and object Y is absorbing the yellow wavelength of light.

Object X is refracting the yellow wavelength of light, and object Y is reflecting the yellow wavelength of light.

Object X is diffracting the yellow wavelength of light, and object Y is reflecting the yellow wavelength of light.

Object X is absorbing the yellow wavelength of light, and object Y is reflecting the yellow wavelength of light.

The picture below shows the path of a sound wave as it moves from left to right. What has taken place at X to change the sound wave?

The sound wave has moved into a new material and slowed down.

The sound wave has run out of energy and turned into a slower light wave.

The sound wave has gained energy and turned into a faster light wave.

The sound wave has moved into a new material and sped up.

Carla's favorite ball is bright blue when it is outside in the direct sunlight. Inside, the ball appears to be almost green. Why does Carla's ball seem to change colors?

Color is determined by the wavelength of light reflected or absorbed by the object, and the light changed when Carla went inside.

Color is determined by the density of an object, and Carla's ball became more dense when she went inside out of the sunlight.

Color is determined by the size of an object, and Carla's ball lost air while being played with, so it was smaller when she went inside.

Color is determined by the temperature of an object, and the temperature changed when Carla went inside out of the sunlight.

When Truman walks across the tile floor in his kitchen, the sound of his shoes is loud and sharp. Which of the following best describes what would happen if he walked over carpet in the same shoes?

The sound waves would move slower through the carpet and at a lower frequency, resulting in a quieter sound.

The sound waves would move faster through the carpet and at a higher frequency, resulting in a louder sound.

The sound waves would move slower through the carpet and at a higher frequency, resulting in a quieter sound.

The sound waves would move faster through the carpet and at a lower frequency, resulting in a louder sound.

Why are astronauts NOT able to hear rockets fire in space?

The sound energy has nothing to travel through.

They are too far away from the engines to hear them.

The engines are not loud enough to carry.

The atmosphere in space is too dense.

It is the reflection of the sound waves

It is the propagation of the sound wave

It is the ultraviolet radiation reflection

It is a sound made by transmitter

Why does the apple appear red?

It absorbs all the colors except red

It reflects all the colors except red

It diffracts all the colors except red

It refracts all the colors except red
