Which of the following would cause a change in the speed of a mechanical wave? (@ increasing the energy of a wave ’._ increasing the frequency of a wave ¢. increasing the wavelength of a wave @), changing the medium of a wave 2. Aradio station transmits to a receiving antenna. The radio wave sent is a a. sound wave b._ torsional wave c.) longitudinal wave transverse wave 3. The distance between the Moon and the Earth was determined by measuring the time it took for light waves from Earth to travel to the Moon and back. Why was it not possible to use sound waves for this experiment? (@ Sound waves must move through a substance b. Sound waves would change frequency on the return to Earth. sound waves move too slowly for the technique to be accurate. d. Sound waves move more slowly in Earth’s atmosphere than in space. 4. Atuning fork vibrating in air produces sound waves. These waves are best classified as a. Transverse, because the air molecules are vibrating parallel to the direction of wave motion b._ Transverse, because the air molecules are vibrating perpendicular to the direction of wave motion Longitudinal, because the air molecules are vibrating parallel to the direction of wave motion Longitudinal, because the air molecules are vibrating perpendicular to the direction of wave motion 5.
