4

Which of the following is not true of light waves?

62% Answer Correctly

are electromagnetic waves

can travel through a vacuum

are mechanical waves

travel faster than sound waves


Solution

Unlike mechanical sound waves that require a physical medium for propagation, light waves are electromagnetic and can travel through empty space. Light waves are also much faster, travelling at 186,000 m/s vs. 343 m/s for sound waves.


5

Convert 0C° to F°.

72% Answer Correctly

32

16

-32

0


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(0) + 32\)

\(F° = 0 + 32 = 32\)
