The type of energy transferred by a wave in a medium is energy

kinetic

A trough in a transverse wave corresponds to a in a longitudinal wave

rarefaction

When sound waves interfere to create standing waves the points on the medium that move up and down with the largest amplitudes are called nodes

False

The fundamental mode of vibration of a wave is defined as that which has the lowest

frequency

lowest

The period of a wave is the reciprocal of its

frequency

The mathematical symbol for period is

T

On the decibel scale an increase of decibels means an intensity increase ten times

ten

When a wave moves from a dense medium to a less dense medium most of the wave energy is

refracted

The pitch of a sound is determined by its and speed together or its frequency alone

The pitch of a sound can be determined by its frequency alone.

The amount of diffraction that occurs when a sound wave encounters a barrier depends on the waves

wavelength

The primary colors of visible light are red blue and what

green

When a waves moves from a less dense medium to a denser one most of the wave energy is refracted

reflected

In a collision a vehicle that rebounds off the object it trikes experiences less force than if it crumples assuming the time is the same in both situations

false

What is a sort of device is commonly used to separate the colors of light from white light

A prism is the right answer

How much work must be done on a 5kg snowborad to increase its speed from 2ms to 4ms

1500 j

How do you calculate speed of light wave with refractive index

The speed of light in any medium is
speed of light in vacuum/refractive index of that medium.

At the point of a converging lens the object cannot be seen.

focal

What All of the visible color light waves together result in light

White light

A diverging lens only produces a virtual image because the light rays never:

converge
