Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
A wave is unable to feel the bottom if the depth is more than its wavelength. Information can be
found in the section The Behavior of Waves Is Influenced by the Depth of Water through Which They
Are Moving.



Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Forced waves need the continual disturbing force to sustain them. An example of a forced wave is the
ocean tide which rely on the gravitational attraction of the sun and moon. Information can be found in
the section Waves Are Classified by Their Physical Characteristics.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
