Waves I
Waves II
Light
100
For a system in SHM, this is the time required to complete a cycle of motion.
What is the period?
100
If you double the frequency of a vibrating object, this is what will happen to the period.
What is be half?
100
Mechanical waves must have this to travel through.
What is a medium?
100
The type of wave created by shaking a rope up and down.
What is a transverse wave?
100
Waves arriving at a fixed boundary will do this.
What is invert and reflect?
100

The speed of light in m/s is

3 x 10^8 m/s

200
For a system in SHM, this is the number of cycles of vibrations per unit of time.
What is the frequency?
200
A weight on the end of a spring bobs up and down one complete cycle every 4.0 seconds. This is its frequency.
What is 0.25 Hz?
200
This is the time needed for a wave to make one complete cycle.
What is its period?
200
Sound is an example of this type of wave.
What is longitudinal? (particles move parallel to wave motion) - compression = crest, expansion = trough
200
Waves arriving at a free boundary do this.
What is reflect only.
200

Light rays that travel into a curved mirror parallel to the principle axis will reflect on a line that passes through the ______

Focus

300
A mass-spring system can oscillate with SHM because a compressed or sstretch spring has this type of energy.
What is elastic potential energy?
300
A pendulum clock is taken from sea level to the top of a high mountain. This is what will happen to the period.
What is increase?
300
This is the distance between successive identical parts of a wave.
What is the wavelength?
300
This is the resulting effect when two or more waves are at the same place at the same time.
What is interference? (superposition also acceptable)
300
These are produced by periodic waves with the same frequency, amplitude, and wavelength traveling in opposite directions.
What are standing waves?
300

States that the incident angle and the reflected angle are equal relative to a line perpendicular to the surface of a mirror

Law of Reflection

400
A mass attached to a spring vibrates back and forth. At the equilibrium position, the acceleration reaches this.
What is its maximum?
400
This is by what factor the length of a pendulum should be changed in order to triple the period of the vibration.
What is by 9?
400
These are the units of frequency.
What is hertz (Hz)?
400
The resulting amplitude when two waves, each with an amplitude of +2.5 meters, arrive at the same place at the same time exactly in step with one another.
What is 5.0 meters?
400
A 2.0 m long stretched rope is fixed at both ends. Which of the following wavelengths will NOT produce a standing wave on the rope. 1.0 m, 2.0 m, 3.0 m, 4.0 m
What is 3.0 m?
400

The name of the phenomena in which waves add together or cancel one another out

Superposition OR Interference

500
If a force of 50N stretches a spring 0.10 m, what is the spring constant? (F=kx)
What is 500N/m?
500
A spring with a spring constant of 30.0 N/m is attached to different masses, and the system is set in motion. This is the period of the vibration for a mass of 2.3 kg.
What is 1.7 seconds?
500
The period of an ocean wave is 10. seconds. What is the wave's frequency?
What is 0.10 Hz?
500
Radio waves travel at the speed of light, 300,000 km/s. This is the wavelength of a radio wave received at 200 MHz.
What is 1.5 m?
500
Vibration of a certain frequency produces a standing wave on a stretched string that is 2.0 m long. The standing wave has 6 nodes and 5 antinodes. What wavelength produces this standing wave?
What is 0.80m?
500

The name of the device that splits a laser into two beams and onto suspended mirrors and rejoins the lasers to measure interference
