Sound Quiz

This document appears to be a quiz on properties of sound waves. It contains multiple choice questions testing understanding of concepts like how sound travels through different materials, why sound travels faster in solids than gases, and the speed of sound in various temperatures. It also includes short answer questions to identify types of waves and parts of a wave, and calculation questions to determine the speed of sound given the temperature.

I. Multiple Choice: Read the question carefully. Choose and encircle the letter of the correct answer.

1. Which of these is a wave or vibration that travel through three states of matter (Solid, Liquid and
Gas).
a. Sound b. Light c. radio waves
2. Which of these materials does sound travel slowest?
a. Solid b. Liquid d. gas
3. Which of these materials did sound travel fastest?
a. Air b. Water d. Oxygen
4. Why does sound travel fastest in solids and slowest in air?
a. Because particles are closer together in solid than in gas, so the vibration are more easily passed
from particle to particle.
b. Because particles are closer together in air than in solid, so the vibration are more easily passed
from particle to particle.
c. Because particles are farther apart in solid than in gas, so the vibration are more easily passed
from particle to particle.
5. Why sound is a mechanical wave?
a. Because it doesn’t need material to propagate
b. Because it can travel to a vacuum
c. Because it requires medium/materials to travel
6. In which sound moves fastest?
a. In cooler temperature b. In hotter temperature c. In lukewarm temperature
7. Which of these is the speed of sound at 0 degree Celsius?
a. 330m/s b. 331m/s c. 332m/s

II. Identification: The students will identify parts of the wave and its kind.

There are 2 types of waves:

Light waves are __________________ Sound waves are _______________________
