the same direction

Refraction results from differences in light's speed in different mediums. This statement is

true

The amplitude of a wave depends on how much work we do to the medium

true

the period of the wave is defined as the time it takes for one complete cycle of a wave to occur

twice as far as the slower arrow

A common source of wave motion is a

vibration object

Strictly speaking, more fuel is consumed by your car if an air conditioner, headlights, or even a radio is turned on. This statement is

almost always true

The vibrations of a longitudinal wave move in a direction

along the direction of wave travel

Like a transverse wave, a longitudinal wave has

amplitude, frequency, wavelength, and speed
