🗑
|
||||
| 2. wave | a disturbance that is transmitted progressivly from one place to the next with no actual transport of matter
🗑
|
||||
| 3. period | the time of the back and forth swing of the pendulum
🗑
|
||||
| 4. simple harmonic motion | the back and forth vibratory motion of a swinging pendulum
🗑
|
||||
| 5. sine curve | pictorial representation of a wave
🗑
|
||||
| 6. crest | the high points on a wave
🗑
|
||||
| 7. trough | the low points on the wave
🗑
|
||||
| 8. amplitude | the distance from the mmidpoint to the crest of the wave. is the maximum displacement from equilibrium
🗑
|
||||
| 9. wavelength | the distance from the top of one crest to the top of the next one
🗑
|
||||
| 10. frequency | the number of vibrations an object makes ina unit of time .
🗑
|
||||
| 11. hertz | the unit of frequency
🗑
|
||||
| 12. transverse wave | a wave with vibration at right angles to the direction the wave is traveling
🗑
|
||||
| 13. longitudial 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
🗑
|
||||
| 14. interference wave | a pattern formed by the overlapping of two or more wavesthat arrive in a region at the same time
🗑
|
||||
| 15. constructive interference | addition of two or more waveswhen wave crests overlapto produce a resulting waveof increased amplitued
🗑
|
||||
| 16. destructive interference | combination of waves where crests of one wave overlap troughs of another, resulting in a wave of decreased amplitued
🗑
|
||||
| 17. out of phase | 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. there effects cancel each other
🗑
|
||||
| 18. in phase | term applied to two or morewaves whose crests (and troughs) arrive at a place at the same time, so that their effects reinenfore each other.
🗑
|
||||
| 19. standing wave | wave in which parts of the wave remainstationary and the wave appears not to be traveling. the result of interference between an incident ( an original ) wave and reflected wave.
🗑
|
||||
| 20. Node | a part of a wave that remains stationary
🗑
|
||||
| 21. antinodes | the positions on a standing wave where the largest amplitudes arrive
🗑
|
||||
| 22. doppler effect | the apperant change in freuquency of a wave dua to the motion of the source or of the reciever
🗑
|
||||
| 23. blue shift | increase in frequency
🗑
|
||||
| 24. red shift | decrease in frequency
🗑
|
||||
| 25. bow wave | when crests overlap at the edges, the pattern made by these overlapping crest in a V shape
🗑
|
||||
| 26. shock wave | a three-dimensional wavethat consistsof overlapping spheres that form a cone
🗑
|
||||
| 27. sonic boom | the sharp cracked heardwhen the shock wave that sweepsbehind a supersonic aircraft reaches the listeners, this is what we hear.
🗑
