Question
Answer
Vibration   show
🗑
show A disturbance that repeats regularly in space and time and that is transmitted progressively from one place to the next with no actual transport of matter  
🗑
show The time required for a pendulum to make one to-and-fro swing. In general, the time required to complete a single cycle.  
🗑
Simple harmonic motion   show
🗑
Sine curve   show
🗑
show one of the places in a wave where the wave is highest or the disturbance is greatest.  
🗑
Trough   show
🗑
Amplitude   show
🗑
Wavelength   show
🗑
Frequency   show
🗑
Hertz   show
🗑
show a wave with vibration at right angles to the direction the wave is traveling.  
🗑
show 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.  
🗑
Interference pattern   show
🗑
show addition of two or more waves when wave crests overlap to produce a resulting wave of increased amplitude.  
🗑
Destructive interference   show
🗑
show Term applied to two waves for which the crest of one wave arrives at a point at the same time that a trough of the second wave arrives. Their effects cancel each other.  
🗑
show Term applied to two or more waves whose crests (and troughs) arrive at a place at the same time, so that their effects reinforce each other.  
🗑
show Wave in which parts of the wave remain stationary and the wave appears not to be traveling. The result of interference between an incident (original) wave and a reflected wave.  
🗑
Node   show
🗑
show The positions on a standing wave where the largest amplitudes occur.  
🗑
Doppler effect   show
🗑
show An increase in the measured frequency of light from an approaching source, called the blue shift because the apparent increase is toward the high frequency, or blue, end of the color spectrum. Also occurs when an observer approaches a source.  
🗑
Red shift   show
🗑
show The V-shaped wave produced by an object moving on a liquid surface faster than the wave speed.  
🗑
show a cone-shaped wave produced by an object moving at supersonic speed through a fluid.  
🗑
show The sharp crack heard when the shock wave that sweeps behind a supersonic aircraft reaches the listener.  
🗑


   

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.
