Jeff bet Lyle that the ocean waves moving quickly by the floating boat would not carry away a piece of bread that Jeff threw into the water. Which of the following is a valid explanation for this claim? A Ocean waves are surface waves, which move the particles of their medium in circles. B Ocean waves are longitudinal waves, which move the particles of their medium back and forth. C Ocean waves are combination waves, which can move particles along the ocean surface. D Ocean waves are transverse waves, which move the particles of their medium up and down. Chapter 20 CRCT Preparation

< BackNext >PreviewMain Chapter Why are string instruments, such as violins and cellos, hollow with a hole below the strings? CRCT Preparation

< BackNext >PreviewMain Chapter Answer - Full-credit answers should include the following points: The hole in a string instrument leads into the hollow body, which contains air. When the strings of a violin or cello are played, they form standing waves. The vibrations from the standing waves cause the air in the string instrument to resonate. This allows the amplitude of the sound waves to increase, so the string instrument sounds louder. CRCT Preparation

< BackNext >PreviewMain Chapter Why does a rainbow of colors appear after white light passes through a glass prism? CRCT Preparation

< BackNext >PreviewMain Chapter Answer - Full-credit answers should include the following points: White light is composed of different wavelengths, or colors, of light. When white light passes through a glass prism, each wavelength of light travels through the prism at a different speed. Because the different wavelengths of light travel through the prism at different speeds, each color refracts, or bends, differently. This refraction causes the different colors to spread out into a rainbow. CRCT Preparation
