BJU Physical Science - Ch 12

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
The maximum displacement from the rest position of a system experiencing periodic motion; half the distance between the extreme positions of the system.   show
🗑
Reducing the amplitude of periodic motion through friction or other resistance.   show
🗑
show diffraction  
🗑
The perceived difference in received frequency compared to the frequency of a wave source due to the relative motion of the observer and the source.   show
🗑
The number of oscillations or other periodic changes completed per unit of time, measured in hertz (Hz) or cycles per second (s–1) in the SI.   show
🗑
show interference  
🗑
A wave in which the oscillations are parallel to the direction of wave travel.   show
🗑
show pendulum  
🗑
show period  
🗑
Recurring back-and-forth or cyclical motion of a system in a regular time interval, called a period.   show
🗑
Phenomenon of a wave bouncing off a surface.   show
🗑
show refraction  
🗑
The condition of an oscillating system when its amplitude increases due to reinforcement by energy added at its natural frequency; the transfer of energy from one vibrating object to another with the same natural frequency.   show
🗑
A wave in which the oscillations are at right angles to the direction of wave travel.   show
🗑
An oscillation in matter or mutually interacting electromagnetic fields that transfers energy from one place to another.   show
🗑
show wavelength  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
