• radio

• light

• x-ray

A part of the wave where the molecules are spread apart is called-

• wavelength

• compression

• direction of travel

• rarefaction

One way in which light waves are different from sound waves is that light waves-

• can move through empty space

• are caused by rapid vibrations

• travel more slowly

• can be reflected

When compression waves move through matter, the molecules move-

• backward and forward

• in a circular motion

• in random directions

• up and down

Which of these objects is translucent?

• a mirror on the bus

• a brick wall of the school

• a student's notebook

• a student's sunglass lenses

The molecules of solids are close together so-

• sound does not travel through solids

• sound travels more quickly through liquids

• sound travels more quickly through solids

• sound travels more slowly through solids
