Waves / Sound / Light Chapter 14, 15, and 16
True / False ____1. Destructive interference between two superimposed waves can result in a node, or point with no displacement. ____2. A point on a wave completes one cycle every 5 seconds. The frequency of this wave is 1/5 seconds. ____3. The period of a pendulum is directly proportional to the mass of the bob. ____4. The differences in air pressure that create a sound wave are the result of differences in the velocities of air particles. ____5. Sound waves will travel faster through a wooden table than through the air. ____6. Because of the Doppler effect, an observer will hear a sound moving away from her as being higher in pitch.
True/False ____7. In a sound wave, the wavelength is equivalent to the distance from a region of high pressure to the region of mean pressure. ____8. Sound travels faster on a cold day than on a warm day. ____9. A closed-pipe resonator is closed at both ends. ____10. The fundamental frequency of a pipe is the lowest resonant frequency. ____11. Light always travels in a straight line. ____12. A light-year is a unit that measures time.
