100
The length of a wave.
What is the wavelength?
100
Any point in a standing wave with almost no motion because the waves are always destructively interfering.
What is a node?
100
THE wave equation
What is wavespeed equals wavelength multiplied by frequency? or
v =lambda f
100
f
What is frequency?
100
What is shown below?
What is a transverse wave?
200
The number of vibrations/cycles per amount of time.
What is the frequency?
200
Any point in a standing wave that has the greatest amount of motion because it's where there's always constructive interference.
What is an anti-node?
200
The relationship between period and frequency.
What is inverse? or
T = 1/f
200
T
What is period?
200
What is a longitudinal wave?
300
The time it takes one complete wave to pass by a point.
What is the period?
300
The length (in fractions of a wavelength) of one pulse or "bump" in a standing wavelength. (Also the length between two adjacent nodes or antinodes)
What is half a wavelength or
lambda/2
300
How to calculate the frequency when you know the wavespeed and wavelength.
What is frequency equals wavespeed divided by wavelength? or
f = v/lambda
300
v
What is wavespeed? (just speed is acceptable)
300
Type of wave interaction shown below.
What is constructive interference?
400
How fast a pulse or complete wave travels through a medium.
What is wavespeed?
400

What is the violin since it has the shortest resonance length?
500
The term that describes when the crests of two waves occupy the same space at the same time.
What is constructive interference?
500
