QuestionAnswer
a oscillation, or repeating back and forth motion, about an equillibrium position vibration
a disturbance that repeats regularly in space and time and that is transmitted progessively from one place to the next with no actual transport of matter. wave
the time required for a pendulum to make one to and from swing. in general, the time required to complete a sinle cycle. period
the back and forth motion vibratory motion of a swinging pendulum simple harmonic motion
a curve whose shape represents the crests and troughs of a wave, as traced out by a swinging pendulum that drops a trail of sand over a moving conveyor belt. sine curve
one of the places in a wave where the wave is highest or the disturbance is greatest. crest
one of the places in a wave where the wave is the lowest, or the disturbance is greatest, in the opposite direction from a crest. trough
the distance from the midpoint to the maximum (crest) of a wave or, equivalently, from the midpoint to the minimum (trough). amplitude
the distance from the top of the crest of a wave to the top of the following crest, or equivalently, the distance between successive identical parts of the wave. wavelength
the number of events (cycles, vibrations, oscilliations, or any repeated event) per time; measured in hertz (or events per time.) inverse period. frequency
the SI unit of frequency. one hertz is one cycle per second hertz
a wave with the vibration at right angles to the direction the wave is traveling. transverse wave
a wave in which the vibration is in the same direction as that in which the wave is traveling, rather than at right angles to it. longitudinal wave
a pattern formed by the pverlapping of two or more waves that arrive in a region at the same time. interference pattern

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.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
