Part 2: Physical Science AZSci Review

A form of energy that travels through an empty space and includes visible light, radio waves, and x rays.

• Seismic wave

• Mechanical wave

• Electromagnetic wave

• Amplitude wave

What is the relationship between the diameter of a ripple in water and the amplitude?

• The larger the ripple becomes in diameter, the larger its amplitude will be

• The larger the ripple becomes in diameter, the smaller its amplitude will be

When the particles of the medium are displaced in a direction parallel to energy transport it is a (a)  

• Longitudinal

• Transverse

• Reflective

• High-frequency

When the transfer of energy in a motion that is perpendicular to the direction the wave is traveling it is (a)   .

• Longitudinal

• Transverse

• Reflective

• High-frequency

The amplitude of a wave depends on how much energy is carried by the wave. What happens to two waves that are identical except Wave A has greater amplitude than Wave B?

• The wave with the greater amplitude will carry more energy

• The wave with the lower amplitude will carry more energy

• Wave A and Wave B will carry the same amount of energy

• Amplitude is not related to the wave’s energy
