Question 22
22.
Compare how polarized light is different from non-polarized light.
The maximum distance that the particles of a medium move from the rest position is the
amplitude of the wave
wave length of the wave
frequency of the wave
The distance between two corresponding parts of a wave is the wave’s
amplitude
wavelength
speed
The speed of a wave is its wavelength multiplied by its
vibration
frequency
reflection
Electromagnetic waves can transfer energy without a(n)
medium
electric field
change in either a magnetic or an electric field
Why do you see lightning from a distant storm before you hear thunder ?
Your eyes react faster than your ears.
Light travels faster than sound.
Sound travels faster than light.
Mechanical waves are created when a source of energy causes a medium to
move
compress
expand
vibrate
Energy transferred from electromagnetic waves through matter and space is called electromagnetic radiation.
True
False
The three types of mechanical waves are transverse waves, latitudinal waves, and surface waves.
True
False
Frequency is measured in units called hertz.
True
False
Dividing the distance a wave travels by the time it takes to travel that distance gives you the wave's speed
True
False
The height of a wave's trough depends on its amplitude.
True
False
Waves that require a medium through which to travel are called electromagnetic waves.
True
False
