  1. 1Sound waves are [blank_start]longitudinal[blank_end] i.e. the vibrations are in the same direction as the wave. Water waves are [blank_start]transverse[blank_end] as the up and down motion is [blank_start]at right angles to[blank_end] the direction of the wave.
    1. Alongitudinal
    2. Btransverse
    3. Cmagnetic
    4. Dtransverse
    5. Elongitudinal
    6. Fmagnetic
    7. Gconcentric
    8. Hat right angles to
    9. Iin the same direction as
    10. Jopposite to
  2. 2Loudspeakers work by converting [blank_start]electrical[blank_end] energy into kinetic energy. Electrical signals in the coil [blank_start]magnetise[blank_end] it and this moves the [blank_start]cone[blank_end] which creates the sound waves.
    1. Aelectrical
    2. Bmechanical
    3. Cgravitational potential
    4. Dmagnetise
    5. Eminimise
    6. Fharmonise
    7. Gcone
    8. Hflap
    9. Icable
  3. 3The amplitude of a wave is the [blank_start]maximum distance above its rest position[blank_end]. A sound wave with a high amplitude will be [blank_start]loud[blank_end].
    1. Amaximum distance above its rest position
    2. Btotal height of the wave
    3. Clength of the curve
    4. Dloud
    5. Ehigh pitched
    6. Flow pitched
  4. 4Wavelength is the [blank_start]distance[blank_end] between a point on the wave and the same point of the next wave. A sound wave with a long wavelength will be a [blank_start]low sound[blank_end].
    1. Adistance
    2. Btime
    3. Cfrequency
    4. Dlow pitched sound
    5. Ehigh pitched sound
    6. Fquiet sound
  5. 5Frequency is the number of [blank_start]waves[blank_end] per second. A high frequency sound will have a [blank_start]high pitch[blank_end].
    1. Awaves
    2. Bmolecules
    3. Crevolutions
    4. Dhigh pitch
    5. Elow pitch
    6. Flow volume
    7. Glong wavelength
  6. 6The speed of sound in air is about [blank_start]340 metres per second[blank_end]. For the train door noise to get from Witley station to our house would take about [blank_start]1.5[blank_end] seconds. Sound waves travel [blank_start]faster[blank_end] through liquids and better still [blank_start]solids[blank_end] because the particles are closer together. Light waves travel much [blank_start]quicker[blank_end] than sound waves which is why we see the flash of lightning long [blank_start]before[blank_end] we hear the thunder.
    1. A340 metres per second
    2. B340 kilometers per second
    3. C340 metres per hour
    4. D340 kilometers per hour
    5. E1.5
    6. F15
    7. G0.5
    8. H3
    9. Ifaster
    10. Jslower
    11. Ksolids
    12. Lgasses
    13. Mspace
    14. Nquicker
    15. Oslower
    16. Pbefore
    17. Qafter
  7. 7Iron is [blank_start]an element and a solid[blank_end]. Like most metals it is a [blank_start]good[blank_end] conductor of heat and because [blank_start]its atoms are densely packed together.[blank_end] This also makes it [blank_start]hard and strong[blank_end]. It is also [blank_start]magnetic[blank_end].
    1. Aan element and a solid
    2. Ba compound and a solid
    3. Ca mixture of materials
    4. Dgood
    5. Ebad
    6. Fits atoms are densely packed together.
    7. Git is a solid
    8. Hit does not dissolve in water
    9. Iit does not rust easily
    10. Jhard and strong
    11. Kbrittle
    12. Lsoft and squidgy
    13. Mmagnetic
    14. Npossible to turn it into diamonds
    15. Oa bad conductor of electricity
  8. 8If you bring two bar magnets together there are two things that can happen, [blank_start]attraction and repulsion[blank_end]. If you bring a north pole and a south pole together, they [blank_start]attract and the magnets stick together[blank_end]. If you bring two north poles together, or two south poles together, they repel and the [blank_start]magnets push each other away[blank_end]
    1. Aattraction and repulsion
    2. Brevolution and attraction
    3. Cconservation of energy and combustion
    4. Dattract and the magnets stick together
    5. Erepel each other
    6. Fblow up
    7. Gmagnets push each other away
    8. Hmagnets stick together
  9. 9You can see the magnetic fields around magnets using iron filings. The shape of the fields could be described as curves coming from [blank_start]both poles and joining[blank_end].
    1. Aboth poles and joining
    2. Bthe north pole only
    3. Cthe south pole only
    4. Dconcentric circles
  10. 10When an electric current flows in a wire, it creates a magnetic field [blank_start]around the wire[blank_end]. This effect can be used to make an [blank_start]electromagnet[blank_end]. A simple electromagnet comprises a length of wire turned into a coil and connected to a [blank_start]battery[blank_end] or power supply.
    1. Aaround the wire
    2. Bin the power pack
    3. Cwhich fills the whole room
    4. Delectromagnet
    5. Ebattery
    6. Fbuzzer
    7. Gchemical reaction
    8. Hbattery
    9. Ilight
    10. Jloudspeaker
