For item number 21, refer to the illustrations below which show the particles of solid, liquid and gas.

21. Based on the illustrations, which of the following statements supports that sound generally travels
faster through solid than through liquid and gas?
A. In solid, the sound travels faster because the particles are closer together.
B. In solid, the sound travels faster because the particles are warmer.
C. In solid, the sound travels faster because the particles are heavier.
D. In solid, the sound travels faster because the particles are larger.
For item number 22, refer to the illustrations below which show the movement of particles of a medium at
different temperatures.

22. What happens to the particles of a medium when the temperature is high?
A. The particles of a medium move faster and collide more frequently therefore, the
faster the speed of sound in the material.
B. The particles of a medium move faster and collide less therefore, the slower the
speed of sound in the material.
C. The particles of a medium move slower and collide less therefore, the faster the
speed of sound in the material.
[Link] particles of a medium are stationary therefore, there is no speed of sound observed.
For item number 23 and 24, refer to the table below which shows the different air temperatures and
speed of sound.
Air temperature (0C) Speed of Sound (m/s)

0 331
15 340
20 343
25 346

[Link] on the given data, at which air temperature does the sound travel the fastest?
A. 0 OC B. 15 OC C. 20 OC D. 25 OC
24. Based on the table, which of the following statements best describes the relationship between air
temperature and the speed of sound?
A. As the air temperature increases, the speed of sound remains the same.
B. As the air temperature decreases, the speed of sound is equal to zero.
C. As the air temperature increases, the speed of sound increases.
D. As the air temperature increases, the speed of sound decreases.
25. What part of the visible spectrum has the highest energy?
A. Red B. Orange C. Green D. Violet
26. Which of the following color of light carries the greatest energy?
A. Red B. Yellow C. Green D. Blue

[Link] happens to light as it passes through the prism
A. Light enters the prism and emerge out undisturbed.
B. Light enters the prism and separate into colors of similar wavelength.
C. Light enters the prism, refracts, and separates into component colors.
D. Light enters the prism, reflect, and disperse into component colors like a rainbow
29. ROYGBIV is the light color arrangement in the order of increasing ____________.
A. Wavelength and energy B. Wavelength and frequency
C. Energy and frequency D. Energy, but decreasing frequency
30. Why is the sky blue?
A. Because blue is scattered more than other colors of light as it travels at larger waves in Earth's
atmosphere, thus we see the sky blue.
[Link] the human eyes cannot see other colors of light except blue in Earth's atmosphere
during daytime, thus we see it blue.
[Link] the sea water vapor rises in Earth's atmosphere and its blue color is reflected towards
the sky thus, we see it blue.
D. Because blue light is scattered in all directions by the tiny molecules of air in Earth's atmosphere.
