| Question | Answer |
| the specific heat of water is | greater than that of dry soil |
| What causes heat transfer? | Heat will flow because of difference in temperatures |
| When two bodies of different temperatures are in contact, what is the overall direction of heat transfer? | hot to cold |
| What are different methods of heat transfer? | Conduction, Convection, Radiation |
| Conduction and convection cannot happen simultaneously | true |
| What is the amplitude of a wave? | Distance from the center line to the top of a crest, or to the bottom of a trough. |
| What is the period of a wave? | the time for a particle on a medium to make one complete vibrational cycle |
| What is meant by the wavelength of a wave? | the distance between identical points in the adjacent cycles of a wave form signal, or along a wire |
| How can you mathematically express wave frequency in terms of wave period? | f=1t |
| When is wavelength directly proportional to the period of a wave? | When it's an electromagnetic wave |
| How do waves superimpose on each other? | adding their disturbances |
| What is interference of waves? | constructive- lined up destructive- not lined up |
| What are standing waves? | combination of two waves moving in opposite directions |
| How are standing waves formed? | by the superposition of of two travelling waves of the same frequency moving in different direction |
| What is the reflection of a wave? | change in direction of a wave when it bounces off a barrier |
| What is the inversion of a wave? | flips vertically |
| Which wave property increases when you are speaking more loudly than softly? | amplitude |
| What is a longitudinal rarefaction? | where the particles are the farthest apart |
| What does the speed of sound depend on? | the mediums density or compressibility in gases |
| What term is used to describe the loudness of sound? | sound amplitude |
| What is the Doppler effect? | when something comes towards you loudly, but then becomes quiet |
