A rhythmatic disturbance that carries energy through matter or space
What is a wave?
100
The process by which a disturbance at one point is propagated to another point more remote from the source with no net transport of the material of the medium itself
What is ocean wave?
200
Units for Velocity
What is meters per second?
200
Equation for Velocity
What is velocity=wavelength/frequency
200
Low point of a wave
What is trough?
200
A wave produced by the acceleration of an electric charge and propagated by the periodic variation of intensities of, usually, perpendicular electric and magnetic fields.
What is electromagnetic wave?
200
A wave motion in which the particles of the medium oscillate about their mean positions in the direction of propagation of the wave, is called longitudinal wave
What is longitudinal wave?
300
Units for Frequency
What is hz?
300
Equation for Frequency
What is frequency=1/time?
300
The interaction of two or more waves
What is interference?
300
Electromagnetic radiation of a wavelength that is visible to the human eye
What is light wave?
300
Waves are type of elastic wave, also called seismic waves, that can travel through gases
What is primary wave?
400
Units for Period
What is seconds?
400
Equation for Wavelength
What is wavelength=velocity/frequency?
400
The point of largest amplitude when two wave pulses meet of two superimposed waves
What is antinode?
400
Methods of energy propagation in which disturbance propagates with definite velocity without changing its form
What is mechanical waves?
400
The maximum displacement of a vibrating particle of the medium from the mean position.
What is amplitude?
500
Units for Speed
What is meters per second squared?
500
Equation for Speed
What is speed=distance/time
500
A wave the strikes the boundary between two medias
What is incident wave?
500
A two dimensional wave can be called a polarized wave. A two dimensional wave exhibits the process or phenomenon of polarization.
What is polarized wave?
500
the property which distinguishes two sounds and makes them different from each other even when they have the same frequency
