this is the top of a wave

crest

100

when a sound wave bounces off of an object and comes back you hear a(n) ________________

echo

100

wave speed vs frequency would produce a _________________ graph

linear

100

When two waves are in phase and pass through each other, they undergo _____________________________.

constructive interference

100

What is the frequency of a wave that undergoes 7000 vibrations in 15 s? 

467s

200

this is the bottom of a wave

trough

200

in the doppler effect, as a sound sources approaches the perceived frequency....

increases

200

wavelength vs frequency would produce a _______________ graph

inverse

200

When two waves are ________ __ ____________ and pass through each other, they will undergo destructive interference.

out of phase
200

what is the period of a wave that undergoes 17 cycles in 51s?

3s
300

this is the distance from one part of a wave the the next corresponding part on a wave

wavelength

300

sound waves are _______________ waves, meaning they cannot travel in a vacuum

mechanical

300

period vs frequency would produce a ______________________ graph

inverse

300

a _____________ is a periodic fluctuation in loudness when two sounds of similar frequency interact with each other.

beat

300

What is the wavelength of a wave that undergoes 4000 cycles in 20s and travels 5000 m/s?

25 m

400

this is the distance from the equilibrium position to the crest or the equilibrium position to the trough

amplitude

400

sound waves are __________________ waves, meaning they're amplitudes are parallel to their motion

longitudinal

400

a student graphs wave speed vs frequency. What does the slope represent?

wavelength

400

When the frequency of a vibration forced on an object matches the object's natural frequency. This causes a dramatic increase in amplitude.

resonance

400

What is the period of a wave that travels 300 m/s with a wavelength of 0.08 m?

.00027 s

500

this is the time it takes for 1 vibration or wave cycle to occur

period (I bet the last group said frequency)

sound waves have areas of high and low pressure called _________________ and __________________

compressions and rarefactions

500

a student graphs wavelength vs wave speed. What does the slope represent?

500

occurs when an object is made to vibrate by another vibrating object nearby.

forced vibration
