83% Answer Correctly

period

amplitude

frequency

volume


Solution

The rate of vibration of sound is called frequency and is measured in hertz (Hz). One hertz is one repetition per second and sounds with high frequency have a higher pitch than sounds with lower frequency. Humans can hear sounds in the range of 20 Hz to 20 kHz.


4

Cirrus clouds generally occur in what kind of weather?

51% Answer Correctly

freezing

stormy

fair

hot


Solution

5

Which of the following represents the largest value?

61% Answer Correctly

1 kL

1 cL

1 mL

1 ML


Solution

Mega (M) is 106, kilo (k) is 103, centi (c) is 10-2, milli (m) is 10-3 so 1 ML represents the largest value.
