100
This is the unit for force.
What is N?
100
This is the time required to complete a cycle of motion.
What is period?
100
This occurs when two wave pulses on the same side of the equilibrium meet and interfere.
What is constructive interference?
100
These are the harmonics present in an air column with both ends open.
What are all harmonics?
100
This is the type of wave a sound wave is.
What is a longitudinal wave?
200
This is the unit for velocity.
What is m/s?
200
This is the number of cycles per unit of time.
What is frequency?
200
This occurs when two wave pulses on opposite sides of the equilibrium meet and interfere.
What is destructive interference?
200
These are the harmonics present in an air column with one end closed.
What are odd harmonics?
200
This is when the frequency of a force matches the natural frequency of vibration and causes a large amplitude.
What is resonance?
300
This is the unit for wavelength.
What is m?
300
This is a wave whose particles vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave's motion.
What is a transverse wave?
300
This happens when a to a wave when it bounces off a fixed boundary.
What is reflected and inverted?
300
If the fundamental frequency of a violin is 245 Hz, this is the second harmonic.
What is 490 Hz?
300
In general, what do sound waves travel fastest through: gas, liquid, or solid?
What is a solid?
400
This is the unit for frequency.
What is Hz?
400
This is a wave whose particles vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave's motion.
What is a longitudinal wave?
400
This happens when a wave bounces off a free boundary.
What is reflected and not inverted.
400
This is a result of when two waves of slightly different frequencies interfere.
What is a beat?
400
THis is the symbol for period.
What is T?
500
This is the unit for period.
What is s?
500
This is a single nonperiodic disturbance.
What is a pulse?
500
These are a result of when two waves of the same amplitude, frequency, and wavelength travel in opposite directions and interfere.
