Simple Harmonic Motion
A disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another
D. Wave
these waves require a medium in order to travel
B. Longitudinal wave
The distance between two adjacent crests or troughs of a wave
C. Wavelenght
The point at which multiple waves converge to produce an image.
3. Real Image
An elementary particle that is the smallest possible amount of light.
E. Photon
The time that it takes for an object to swing away from its starting position and return back one time
C. Period
also known as electromagnetic waves and can travel through a vacuum
A. transverse wave
The material through which the wave travels
2. Medium
A diagram used to show how an image is formed using a mirror or lens
4. Ray diagram
The number of wave cycles that pass a given point per unit of time.
B. Frequency
The change in position from one point to another
A. Displacement
the distance from one point on a wave to the next consecutive point
E. wavelength
A disturbance in particles or a field that transfers energy progressively from point to point without the field or particles having any net movement themselves
An optical image produced from the apparent divergence of light rays.
b. Virtual Image
The distance between two adjacent crests or troughs of a wave.
3. Wavelenght
Back and forth motion
E. Oscillation
the highest point on a wave
C. Crest
The combination of two or more of the same type of wave
4. Interference
A mirror with a flat surface.
1. Plane Image
The height of a wave from the origin to the crest or trough.
D. Amplitude
The point midway between the highest points of motion
B Resting position
the lowest point on a wave
D. Trough
When two (or more) waves travel through a medium at the same time
5. Superposition
The source of light that forms the image.
5. Object
A disturbance in particles or a field that transfers energy progressively from point to point without the field or particles having any net movement themselves.
