1) Drake White lists some characteristics of waves in his notebook. 1. These waves cannot travel through empty space. 2. The particles of the medium vibrate when these waves pass through them. What kind of wave is Drake describing?  a) Diffraction b) Reflection c) Electromagnetic Waves d) Mechanical Waves 2) Causes particles in matter to move back and forth along the same direction in which the wave travels. Example Sound Wave a) Electromagnetic Wave b) Compressional Wave c) Intensity d) Wavelength 3) The bending of a wave around an object. a) Diffraction b) Refraction c) Frequency d) Reflection 4) What do all waves have in common? a) All waves are Mechanical b) All waves transfer compression c) All waves transfer energy d) All waves are longitudinal 5) Waves that can travel through matter or empty space a) Compressional Wave b) Electromagnetic Wave c) Diffraction Wave d) Refraction Wave 6) The number of wavelengths that pass by a point each second a) Wavelength b) Rarefaction c) Vibration d) frequency 7) The change in direction of a wave when it travels from one material to another a) Diffraction b) Interference c) Refraction d) Wavelength 8) Causes particles in matter to move back and forth at right angles to the direction in which the wave travels a) Compressional Wave b) Transverse Wave c) Ultraviolet Wave d) Diffraction 9) What type of wave could be classified as a longitudinal wave? a) Pitch b) Infrared Wave  c) Ultraviolet Wave d) Sound Wave 10) What is the distance between two corresponding parts of a wave(crest to crest or trough to trough)? a) Mechanical Wave b) Wavelength c) Seismic Wave d) Diffraction 11) Which statement accurately compares a sound wave and a water wave?  a) Both sound waves and water waves are electromagnetic waves. b) Sound waves and water waves are both transverse waves.  c) Both sound waves and water waves are mechanical wave.  d) Sound waves are electromagnetic waves only. 12) Which word or term most accurately represents a medium? a) Energy b) Matter c) Time d) Space 13) Echoes are a type of sound wave.
