100
The time it takes to complete one cycle of the wave
What is a period?
100
The type of wave pictured here:
What is a pulse wave?
100
The stationary point where two equal wave pulses meet and are in the same location
What is the node?
100
This is what waves transfer.
What is energy?
200
The number of complete waves in a second
What is frequency?
200
A wave in which the disturbance is parallel to the direction of wave travel
What is a longitudinal wave?
200
The process of creating a larger wave by having two waves of the same wavelength interact
What is constructive interference?
200
Frequency determines this in a wave, also known as the highness or lowness of a sound
What is pitch?
300
The shortest distance between identical points
What is a wavelength?
300
A wave that appears to stand still because of interference from waves moving in opposite directions
What is a standing wave?
300
The point with the largest displacement where two wave pulses meet
What is the antinode?
300
The difference between a pulse and a wave.
What is a pulse is a single disturbance while a periodic wave is a continually oscillating motion?
400
The maximum distance an object moves from equilibrium
What is amplitude?
400
The type of wave pictured here:
What is a periodic wave?
OR
What is a transverse wave?
400
The process of creating a smaller wave by having two waves of the same wavelength interact
What is destructive interference?
400
The change in frequency of sound and light because of movement from the source and/or detector
What is the Doppler Effect?
500
What is 1/4 Hz?
500
The type of wave that has compressions (regions where waves are compressed) and rarefactions (regions where waves are spread apart).
What is a longitudinal wave?
500
The type of motion in which the rate of change of velocity is proportional to the displacement
What is simple harmonic motion?
500
The spring force of a spring if the spring constant is 75 N/m and the spring is displaced 0.1 m.
What is 7.5 N?
