Question Answer
wavean oscillation that travels
vibrationa word that means the same as oscillation
wave pulsea short length of wave that travels
transversea wave where the oscillation is perpindicular to the direction of motion
longitudinala wave where the oscillation is in the same direction as the direction of motion
wavelengththe length of one complete wave
natural frequencya special frequency at which objects vibrate if they are disturbed
resonancea special condition where the frequency you push matches the natural frequency of the system, resulting in large amplitude waves
interferencethe interaction of two or more waves with each other
boundarya place where a wave changes suddenly
reflectionthe process of bouncing a wave off a boundary
refractionthe process of bending a wave as it crosses a boundary
diffractionwhat happens when a wave bends around obstacles or through holes
absorptionthe process where a wave gets smaller and smaller
nodea point on a wave where there is no motion
antinodethe place on a wave where the amplitude is largest
harmonica wave whose frequency is a multiple of another wave
standing wavea wave that is trapped between two boundaries
harmonic motionback and forth or repeating motion
cyclea part of motion that repeats over and over
systema group of things we think are important to consider when analyzing something
oscillatora system in harmonic motion
hertza unit of one cycle per second
periodthe time it takes to complete one cycle
frequencythe number of cycles per second
amplitudethe size of a cycle
dampingany process that causes cycles to get smaller and smaller in amplitude
phasea way to identify where an oscillator is in its cycle
