In which of the following ways are sound waves different from light waves? Select the correct answer Sound waves must propagate through some medium, while light waves can propagate in a vacuum Audible sound waves have much lower frequencies than visible light waves Sound waves are longitudinal while light wavesY are transverse Your Answe O All of the listed options are valid. Audible sound waves have much longer wavelengths than visible light waves
Which of the following is NOT a property of sound waves? A. The speed of sound waves in air depends on the temperature of the air B. The pitch of a sound wave is closely related to its frequency C. The loudness of a sound wave is related to its amplitude and frequency D. Sound waves can travel through empty space
Which type of electromagnetic wave travels through space the slowest? All EM waves travel at the same speed. Microwaves Radio waves Ultraviolet light Infrared light As you are looking through two polarizers at a lightbulb, it ap-pears as bright as possible. After turning one of the polarizer, by 180 degrees, the lightbulb would appear hellip hellip equally bright. hellip as dark as possible. hellip darker, but not as dark as it could be if you turned the polarizers differently. Two...
