QuestionAnswer
what is oscillation that travels from one place to another. a wave
Why are Waves a traveling form of energy? because they can change motion.
You can think of a wave as what? a moving series of high points and low points.
The frequency is? a wave is the rate at which every point on the wave moves up and down.
what is the distance from any point on a wave to the same point in the next cycle of the wave. wavlength
The speed of a water wave is what how fast the wave spreads
A wave moves one wavelength in each what? cycle
What is the speed? it is the distance traveled (one wavelength) divided by the time it takes (one period).
When a wave encounters a surface, what four interactions can occur. 1. reflection, 2.refraction, 3.diffraction, or 4. absorbent.
what usually changes the direction and shape of the waves? Diffraction
What 2 types of waves are there? Transverse, longitudinal
what are waves that are in the same direction that the wave moves Longitudinal wave
What happens when waves add up to make a larger amplitude. Constructive interference
What waves add up to make a wave with smaller or zero amplitude. destructive interference
What gets us from one place to another. Linear motion
what is a device that swings back and forth. Pendulum
what is motion that repeats over and over. harmonic motion
what is one unit of harmonic motion. a cycle
what is a physical system that has repeating cycles or harmonic motion. oscillator
what is the maximum distance the oscillator moves away from this equilibrium position. amplitude
what is the gradual loss of amplitude? Damping
what is the frequency (or period) at which a system naturally oscillates? natural frequency
what happens when a periodic force that has the same frequency as the natural frequency. resonance

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
