Here are the answers to the multiple-choice
questions provided:
1. The interference of two sound waves
with slightly different frequencies produces
pulsing sounds known as:
a) beats
2. In a longitudinal wave the region where
particles are spread apart is called?
a) rarefaction
3. The illustration below demonstrates a
type of reflection referred to as:
c) diffuse
4. How do radar guns measure the speed
of a vehicle on the highway?
c) Radar guns function based on the Doppler
effect - it measures a change in frequency due
to the relative movement of the vehicle with
respect to the source.
5. The diagram below represents light
rays traveling through a convex lens:
The answer depends on the specific diagram
provided. If you can describe the options or upload
the diagram, I can assist further.
6. In red light, a green pear appears
_______ because the pear absorbs the red
light:
c) black
7. The diagram below represents a
transverse wave, what is the name of the
distance from one crest to the next crest of
the wave?
b) wavelength
8. A white surface looks white because it:
b) reflects all of the colors of light that shine
on it
9. Which media do you think will allow
sound to travel the fastest and why?
a) Steel, as it is more dense and more elastic
than air.
10. A candle is placed on a ruled grid in
front of a plane mirror. At what point is the
image formed?
If the diagram is included, describe it, and I will help
you find the answer.
11. What happens to the sound waves as
Lama plays from low pitch notes to high
pitch notes?
b) The frequency of the sound waves
increases.
12. Predict the energy of waves Q and R:
Based on the amplitude-energy relationship, I’ll need
the data from the table. Describe it, and I can assist.
13. Fatima in room X hears her friends in
room Y:
Provide the specific diagram or explanation for
accurate assistance.
14. A tuning fork produces sound. These
waves are:
b) longitudinal
15. Why does an object appear distorted
when viewed through a glass of water?
c) Light rays refract when they pass from one
medium to another.
For visual-based questions (e.g., diagrams), feel free

to share or describe them for accurate answers.
Here are the answers to the written exam questions
based on the provided document:
1. Wave Properties
a) Identify the type of wave shown in the

given figures:
• A: Longitudinal wave
• B: Transverse wave
b) Label the wave property indicated in each

diagram:
• Mark and label the crests, troughs,
compressions, and rarefactions based on the
diagrams provided. Describe further if clarification
is needed.
c) What is meant by the frequency of a wave?

Frequency is the number of complete waves that
pass a given point in one second, measured in Hertz
(Hz).
d) What is meant by the wavelength of a

wave?
Wavelength is the distance between two successive
points in a wave that are in phase, such as two
crests or two compressions.
e) Why can radio waves travel through the

vacuum of outer space but sound waves
cannot?
Radio waves are electromagnetic waves that do not
require a medium, whereas sound waves are
mechanical waves and need a medium like air,
water, or solids to propagate.
f) Why is the speed of sound greater in water

than in air?
Sound travels faster in water because water is
denser and more elastic than air, allowing particles
to transmit vibrations more quickly.
2. Reflection of Light
a) Label the diagram of light reflection:

• Mark the angle of incidence, angle of
reflection, incident ray, reflected ray, and the
normal line at the point of reflection.
b) If the angle of reflection is 40°, what is the
angle of incidence?
The angle of incidence is also 40° because the law of
reflection states that the angle of incidence equals
the angle of reflection.
3. Electromagnetic Spectrum
a) Arrange from shortest to longest

wavelength:
1. X-rays
2. Visible light
3. Microwaves
4. Radio waves
b) Which part has the most energy photons?

Justify your answer.
X-rays have the most energy photons because
energy is inversely proportional to wavelength;
shorter wavelengths like X-rays have higher energy.
4. Doppler Effect and Sound
a) Do you agree that observer A hears a lower-

pitched sound than observer B? Why?
Yes, observer A hears a lower pitch because the
source is moving away from them, stretching the
sound waves and lowering the frequency (Doppler
effect). Observer B hears a higher pitch as the
source moves toward them.
b) Human hearing frequency range in Hz:
20 Hz to 20,000 Hz
c) Above what decibel level can sustained

exposure cause hearing loss?
85 decibels
5. Electromagnetic Spectrum Components
a) Steps by which radio stations broadcast

radio signals:
1. Audio signals are converted into
electromagnetic waves using an antenna.
2. These waves are modulated (AM/FM) and
amplified.
3. The waves are transmitted, and receivers
decode them back into sound.
b) Differences between radio waves and

gamma rays:
Radio Waves Gamma Rays
Low frequency High frequency
Long wavelength Short wavelength
Non-ionizing Ionizing radiation
c) X-rays and the body:

• Soft tissues: X-rays pass through soft tissues
and are less absorbed, making them appear darker
on an X-ray image.
• Denser bones: X-rays are absorbed more by
dense bones, making them appear white on the
image.
If there are any diagrams or additional details
required for specific answers, feel free to describe
them further for clarification!
