Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 8.76 Relate Wave Changes to Energy Changes skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Which claim is the strongest capstone conclusion for this practice set?

ATo compare energy correctly, pay attention to wave type and context: amplitude is a key clue for many waves, and frequency is tied to photon energy for electromagnetic waves

BA wave always carries more energy whenever its frequency increases

CA wave always carries more energy whenever its wavelength decreases

DWave energy cannot be compared with observations

Solution & Explanation:This conclusion is the most accurate because it uses the correct relationship for many mechanical waves and the correct frequency relationship for electromagnetic waves.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Which sentence would be the best summary line for a study guide on wave energy changes?

AUse frequency alone to judge energy in every wave

BUse amplitude to judge energy changes in many waves, and remember that higher-frequency electromagnetic waves have higher photon energy

CUse color alone to compare every kind of wave energy.

DWaves cannot be compared unless they move at different speeds

Solution & Explanation:This summary captures the main idea of the skill without making incorrect claims about every kind of wave.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A red floodlight illuminates a stage more strongly than a small blue indicator light. Which statement is best?

AThe floodlight may deliver more total energy each second, but each blue photon still has more energy than each red photon

BThe red floodlight definitely has higher photon energy because it is brighter

CThe blue indicator definitely sends more total energy to the stage each second because blue is more energetic

DBrightness and photon energy always match

Solution & Explanation:A bright floodlight can deliver more total energy per second overall, while blue light still has higher energy per photon because of its higher frequency.
