Harmonic Motion/ Waves/ Sound
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Parts of a wave | crest and trough, amplitude, wavelength, and frequency |
Difference between a transverse and longitudinal wave | in a longitudinal wave the particle displacement is parallel to the direction of a wave propagation and in a tansverse wave the particle displacement is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation |
Difference between rarefaction and compresstion | Rarefied air, for example is air that has been expanded to a large volume without the addition of more air into that volume. It has an extremely low density and lots of space in between molecules |
Destructive/ constructive interference | Bright band are the result of constructive interference while the dark bands are the result of destructive interference |
Nodes/ Antinodes | a node is a point along a standing wave where the wave has minimal amplitude. A anti-node is a point where the amplitude of the standing wave is a maximum |
