Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 9.80 Information Transfer with Waves skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Use the planned end-to-end system diagram. A temperature sensor sends data to a phone app: temperature -> voltage -> digital code -> radio wave -> phone receiver -> stored graph. Which statement best summarizes the whole system?

AA physical measurement is encoded into digital information, carried by electromagnetic waves, decoded, and stored.

BRadio waves store the graph permanently in the air.

CThe temperature travels as matter from the sensor to the phone.

DThe phone creates the graph without receiving a signal.

Solution & Explanation:The system transforms a physical measurement into digital data, uses an electromagnetic wave for transmission, and decodes the signal for storage and display.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

A student moves a Wi-Fi router away from a microwave oven and the connection improves. Which explanation best fits wave interference?

AThe microwave oven changes digital bits into handwritten text.

BThe receiver no longer needs to decode the signal.

CThe router stops using waves when moved farther away.

DReducing nearby electromagnetic interference can improve the signal-to-noise ratio at the receiver.

Solution & Explanation:Nearby devices can add electromagnetic noise or interference. Increasing separation or changing placement can improve reception quality.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A QR code stores information in a printed pattern, and a phone reads it using reflected light. Which statement best connects storage and wave-based reception?

AThe pattern stores information spatially, and reflected light waves carry the pattern to the camera sensor.

BThe printed squares become radio antennas that erase the data.

CThe phone reads the code by measuring the papers mass.

DThe code transmits sound waves from the paper to the phone.

Solution & Explanation:The QR code stores information in a visible pattern; light reflecting from that pattern transfers information to the phones camera.
