QUESTIONS| WITH COMPLETE SOLUTIONS
Propagation Correct Answer: movement through a medium
Wave Correct Answer: Can be defined as a disturbance that moves through a medium
Wave motion Correct Answer: Can be defined as a recurring disturbance advancing through
space with or without the use of a physical medium
Transverse Correct Answer: Which type of waves are water waves known as because the motion
of the water is up and down, or at right angles to the direction in which the waves are traveling?
Longitudinal Correct Answer: Type of waves which the disturbance takes place in the direction
of propagation
Medium Correct Answer: The vehicle through which the wave travels from one point to the next
Reference line Correct Answer: The position in which a particle of matter would have been
called if it were not disturbed by wave motion
Wavelength Correct Answer: The distance in space occupied by one cycle of a radio wave at
any given instant
Meters Correct Answer: Unit of measurement that wavelengths are expressed in
Amplitude Correct Answer: A wave property that gives a relative indication of the amount of
energy the wave transmits
Wave train Correct Answer: A continuous series of waves that are called having the same
amplitude and wavelength
Hertz Correct Answer: The number of vibrations, or cycles, of a wave train in a unit of time is
called the frequency of the wave train and is measured in what?
Hertz Correct Answer: Which term refers to the number of occurrences that take place in one
second?
Velocity Correct Answer: Which propagation property is the rate at which the disturbance
travels through the medium, or the velocity with which the crest of the wave moves along?
Period Correct Answer: What is the time in which one complete vibratory cycle of events
occurs?
,Incident Correct Answer: What is a wave called that is directed toward the surface of the
mirror?
Angle of reflection Correct Answer: What is the angle between the reflected wave and the
normal called?
Law of reflection Correct Answer: Which law states that "The angle of incidence is equal to the
angle of reflection?
Diffraction Correct Answer: What is the bending of the wave path when the waves meet an
obstruction?
Doppler Effect Correct Answer: What is the apparent change in frequency or pitch when a
sound source moves either toward or away from the listener, or when the listener moves either
toward or away from the sound source
Wave motion Correct Answer: How does sound travel through a medium?
Sound Correct Answer: In the study of physics, what is defined as a range of compression-wave
frequencies to which the human ear is sensitive?
Sonics Correct Answer: Which type of sounds are capable of being heard by the human ear?
15 Hertz Correct Answer: The Navy has set an arbitrary upper limit for sonics at 10,000 hertz
and a lower limit at what?
Ultrasound Correct Answer: What is the standard practice used to refer to sounds above 10,000
hertz?
Infrasonic Correct Answer: What are sounds below 15 hertz known as?
Three Correct Answer: How many basic elements for transmission and reception of sound must
be present before a sound can be produced?
Noise or Tones Correct Answer: Which two general groups may sounds be broadly classified
into?
Quality Correct Answer: Sound has three basic characteristics: pitch, intensity, and what else?
Pitch Correct Answer: Which term is used to describe the frequency of a sound?
Intensity Correct Answer: What is a measure of the sound energy of a wave?
Loudness Correct Answer: What is the sensation the intensity (and sometimes frequency) the
sound wave produces on the ear?
, Elasticity and Density Correct Answer: What are the two basic physical properties that govern
the velocity of sound through the medium?
Elasticity Correct Answer: What is the ability of a strained body to recover its shape after
deformation?
Density Correct Answer: What property of a medium or substance is the mass per unit volume
of the medium or substance?
1,087 Correct Answer: What is the velocity in FPS that sound will travel through air at 32
degrees?
Acoustics Correct Answer: What is the science of sound referred to as?
Echo Correct Answer: What is the reflection of the original sound wave as it bounces off a
distant surface called?
Reverberation Correct Answer: In empty rooms or other confined spaces, sound may be
reflected several times to cause what is known as what?
Interference Correct Answer: What is any disturbance, man-made or natural, that causes an
undesirable response or the degradation of a wave referred to as?
Noise Correct Answer: What is the most complex sound wave that can be produced?
Electromagnetic radiation Correct Answer: What is light a form of?
Photons Correct Answer: Current light theory says that light is made up of very small packets of
electromagnetic energy called what?
186,000 Correct Answer: Approximately how many miles per second does light travel?
Beam Correct Answer: What is a large volume of light called?
Pencil Correct Answer: What is a narrow volume of light called?
Transparent Correct Answer: Which type of substance is one through which you can see
clearly?
Translucent Correct Answer: What are substances called through which some light rays can pass
but through which objects cannot be seen clearly because the rays are diffused?
1675 Correct Answer: Which year did Ole Roemer discover that light travels approximately
186,000 miles per second in space?
7.5 Correct Answer: How many times in one second can a light beam circle the earth?
