Interacting Waves
Waves & Wave properties
100

This type of wave, such as one on a guitar string, appears to stay in one place.

What is a Standing Wave

100

The number of cycles per unit of time(reciprocal of the period)

What is frequency?

200

This type of interference occurs when the crest of one wave overlaps the crest of another, resulting in a higher amplitude. 

What is Constructive Interference

200

The height of a wave

What is amplitude?

300

When the crest of one wave overlaps the trough of another, this type of interference occurs, reducing the overall amplitude.

What is Destructive Interference 

300

This is how the period and frequency are related

What is inversely?

400

This term describes a regular arrangement of places where effects are increased, decreased, or neutralized.

What is Interference Pattern 

400

The more of these, the more compressed a wave is

What are wavelengths?

500

This phenomenon occurs when external vibrations match an objects natural frequency, significantly increasing amplitude.

What is Resonance

500

V = f(wavelength)
