Question | |
A wave in which particles travel perpendicular to the direction of the wave | |
A wave which is a mixture of transverse and longitudinal | |
Common stringed instrument that represents a transverse wave | |
A wave in which particles travel parallel to the direction of the wave | |
A 'toy that is an example of a transverse wave | |
An example of a longitudinal wave | |
An example of a surface wave | |
Time interval abbreviated 'T' during which a wave repeats itself | |
Number of complete vibrations per second measured at a fixed location | |
Period is _______/cycle | |
Frequency is _______/second | |
Shortest difference between points where the wave pattern repeats itself. Like from crest to crest | |
The symbol for wavelenth is spelled | |
| Question | |
The high point of the wave motion | |
The lowest point of the wave motion | |
The maximum displacement from the rest or equilibrium, or height of the wave | |
When measuring amplitude, one measures total __________ | |
The result of superposition of two or more waves. Comes in two types | |
Type of interference when wave displacements are in the same direction, so the wave gets larger | |
Type of interference when wave displacements are of equal but opposite amplitudes | |
Place on a wave where no energy is present due to equal and opposite pulses | |
Point of maximum amplitude in a standing wave | |
Type of wave when the wave doesn't appear to be moving due to quick enough hand movement | |
When a wave bends around the edge of a barrier | |
Change in direction of a wave at the boundary between two different media | |
What is the only thing that can change the speed of a wave? | |
| Question | |
When you increase the speed of your hand while moving a slinky, how does it affect the amplitude? Choices are increase, decrease, or none | |
The frequency? Choices are increase, decrease, or none | |
The wavelength? Choices are increase, decrease, or none | |
The loudness? Choices are increase, decrease, or none | |
The pitch? Choices are increase, decrease, or none | |
The period? Choices are increase, decrease, or none | |
If a pulse is sent and none returns, is the end open or fixed? | |
Equals lambda/period or lambda*frequency | |
The angle at which a wave strikes a barrier is the angle of _______ | |
The angle at which a wave leaves after striking a barrier is the angle of _______ | |
Are frequency and period related directly or inversely? | |
