Show answers for version 7
- What energy change occurs in a speaker?Electrical energy becomes sound
- Why does sound travel faster in solids?Close particles transfer vibrations quickly
- What happens to pitch as frequency rises?Pitch becomes higher
- What can happen when light enters water?It refracts, or bends
- What affects electromagnet strength?Current, coil turns, and core material
- Why does a shadow form?An object blocks light
- Why can you hear an echo?Sound reflects from a surface
- Why are parallel circuit branches useful?Each branch can operate independently
Worked example
Use a model to track energy, forces, and waves through a system.
Common mistake
Assuming energy travels without a path or medium.
Helpful hint
Draw the source, path, interaction, and result.
