A sound wave is a wave because it has (Every word is used only once)

be a solid, liquid or a . The at which Packed
sound travels from one place to another depends on the Mechanical
type of medium and how closely together they are. Medium
When there is no medium, sound Electromagnetic
be transmitted. Of the three mediums, Gas
sound waves travel the fastest through a do not
because the particles are tightly packed together. Speed
However, light waves such as the Cannot
spectrum need a medium to travel through.
Below is the Electromagnetic spectrum. Wavelength, frequency and the amount of energy changes from Radio
Waves on one end to Gamma Rays at the opposite end of the spectrum. Draw how a wave looks going from
Radio waves to Gamma Rays. Try to show how the wavelength and frequen- cy changes from one end to the
other.
Radio Microwave Infrared Visible Light Ultraviolet X-Ray Gamma Ray

2. Which graph represents an Digital signal?
3. Which graph demonstrates signals (sent as wave pulses) that are a more reliable way to
encode and transmit information?
4. Which graph would be easier to interpret when it arrived from a far away destina- tion?

5. If you had a hearing aid, would you want it to be Analog or Digital?
