Question | Answer |
---|---|
the diagram illustrating two waves in phase is: | it's the same |
which of the following usually occurs inside a material instead of at the surface? | absorption |
a violin string vibrates at a fundamental frequency of 200 Hz. the frequency of the third harmonic for this string is | 600 Hertz |
a longitudinal wave travels | in the same direction as the oscillations |
how many anti-nodes does this standing wave have <><><> | 3 |
an ocean has a frequency of 2 Hz and a speed of 20 m/sec. What is the wavelength of this wave? | 10 meters |
if you double the frequency of a pendulum, what happens to the period of one cycle? | the period is 1/2 its original time |
a mass oscillates on the end of a spring with a period of 4 seconds. what is the frequency of the oscillator? | .25 Hz |
natural frequency is: | the frequency at which a system oscillates when it is disturbed |
a transverse wave: | oscillated perpendicular to the direction of wave travel |
although a door is only slightly open, sound will pass from one room to another due mainly to: | reflection |
sound waves are always: | longitudinal waves |
which factor listed below has the greatest effect on the period of a pendulum? | length of the string |
destructive interference occurs because: | multiple waves combine to make a wave of smaller amplitude |
the wavelength of a wave is defined as | the distance from crest to crest |
when a guitar is plucked it vibrates at its fundamental. If a guitar string is 68 cm long, what is the speed of the wave on a string if the fundamental frequency of the guitar string is 262 hertz? | 356 m/sec |
eyeglasses bend light waves by the process of | refraction |
the amplitude of a pendulum is doubled. this means | the pendulum will swing twice as far away from the center. |
when a wave reflects from a hard surface, it may do all of the following except- | change from transverse to longitudinal |
if the length of a pendulum increases, the period of the pendulum | increases |
a vibrating string has a natural frequency of 30 hertz the string will also be resonant at | 60 Hertz |
