Waves Mastery Quest Regrade - 3/7/18

1.) What is the measure of how many waves pass a point in a certain amount of time?

The correct answer to this question is frequency. The difference between frequency and wavelength is that frequency measures how many waves pass a point in a certain amount of time, while wavelength is the distance between successive crests of a wave.

3.) A _____________________ is the distance between a point on one wave and the identical point of the next wave.

The correct answer to this question is wavelength. The difference between wavelength and amplitude is that one measures distance, while one is the maximum extent. Wavelength is the distance between successive crests of a wave, while amplitude is the maximum extent of a vibration.

6.) Which of the following is the state of matter that will carry sound faster?






The correct answer to this question is solids. This is because their molecules are the closest together, so they can transfer the sound waves without losing energy.

12.)Amplitude reflects the amount of ____________________ in a wave.

The correct answer to this question is energy. The reason that energy is the correct answer is that the amount of energy carried by a wave is related to the amplitude of the wave. A high energy wave is characterized by a high amplitude, while a low energy wave is characterized by a low amplitude.

19. Cell phones use_____________waves.

The correct answer to this question is that cell phones use microwaves. This is the correct answer because cell phones transmit and receive on microwave bands.

21.) Amplitude is a measure of how much _________ the wave is carrying.

The correct answer to this question is energy. The reason that energy is the correct answer is that you want to be able to know the intensity or brightness of a wave so you can determine which wave is which.
