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 _______________________

Because it does not require medium to travel. (2pts.) Because it requires medium to travel. (2pts.)

Identify the parts of a wave.

a. ____________
b. ____________
c. ____________
d. ____________

III. Calculate the speed of sound. (5pts. Each)

v = 331m/s + 0.6m/s * T Follow these steps.
