Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The vibrations from hydrogen bonds in water allows small amounts of red light to be absorbed which,
in turn, reflects and scatters blue light. Information can be found in the section The Water Molecule Is
Held Together by Chemical Bonds.



Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Upward traveling sound waves are generated in the sofar layer tend to bend back downward. The
reverse happens for downward travelling sound waves. The sound waves bend towards layers of lower
sound velocity which allows the sound waves to remain within the layer. Information can be found in
the section Sound Travels Much Farther Than Light through the Ocean.
