This is the name given for the time it takes for a wave to complete 1 cycle.
What is the Period.
100
This is the highest part of a transverse wave, not toothpaste.
What is a crest?
100
The maximum displacement from the equilibrium position is.
What is amplitude?
100
The frequency belonging to a wave with a period of 1s.
What is 1 Hz?
100
The material (not too big, and not too small) through which a wave travels.
What is a medium?
200
A wave that moves the medium in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the wave travels.
What is a transverse wave?
200
The lowest part of a transverse wave.
What is a trough?
200
The distance between two corresponding parts of a wave.
What is wavelength?
200
The period of a ocean wave that has a frequency of 10Hz.
What is .1s.
200
A disturbance or vibration that transfers energy from place to place.
What is a wave?
300
A wave that moves the medium in a direction parallel to the direction in which the wave travels.
What is a longitudinal wave?
300
The part of a longitudinal wave where the particles of the medium are close together.
What is a compression?
300
A man on a boat observes that in 1s. 4 waves pass him. What is the period of the wave.
What is .25s.
300
This is the wave speed of a ocean wave with a frequency 17Hz and a wavelength of 3m.
What is 54m/s?
300
The is the name of the interaction between waves that result in greater amplitude.
What is constructive interference?
400
A wave that appears to stand in one place, even though it is really two waves interfering as they pass through each other.
What is a standing wave?
400
The part of a longitudinal wave where the particles of the medium are far apart.
What is a rarefaction?
400
Unit of measurement for frequency.
What is a hertz (Hz)?
400
The speed of light is 300,000,000m/s. The radio station 94.5 the BOOM casts a 94.5 megahertz (94,500,000Hz signal). What is the radio stations wavelength?
NOTE: wave speed= frequency x wavelength.
What is 3.17m.
400
This happens when two waves interact and the resulting amplitude gets smaller or goes away.
What is Destructive Interference.
500
This is component of a standing waves that has no displacement.
What is a Node.
500
A point of maximum amplitude on a standing wave.
What is an antinode?
500
The frequency of 300 waves that pass a point in one minute?
What is 5 Hz?
500
Can there exist a signal with a frequency 1,000,000 Hz and a wavelength of 1km? Why?
No. The resulting wave speed is greater than the speed of light.
500
This is the word to explain what level of a standing wave is present.
Hint: equal to the amount of antinodes of a standing wave.
