Simple Harmonic Motion
Motion that is back and forth over the same path
What is simple harmonic motion?
The relationship between period and frequency
What is inversely related?
What is the crest?
Boundary where waves are only reflected
What is a free boundary?
The particles of this wave travel perpendicularly to the direction of the wave motion
What is a transverse wave?
An example of this motion would be the motion of a mass attached to a spring
What is periodic motion?
The two SI Units for amplitude
What are radians and meters?
The distance the wave travels along its path during one cycle
What is wavelength?
A point on a standing wave where there is zero amplitude
What is a node?
The Greek word lambda stands for this (in physics)
What is wavelength?
This object's motion is an approximation of...
What is simple harmonic motion?
What period and frequency measure
What is time?
A wave that requires a medium to travel
What is a mechanical wave?
A wave interference where the two displacements are on opposite sides of the equilibrium position
What is destructive interference?
The direction the spring force moves the object towards
What is its equilibrium position?
What is equilibrium?
The period of this is based on length
What is the period of a Simple Pendulum?
Visible light is an example of this
What is electromagnetic waves?
The process of two waves overlapping
What is superposition?
The SI Unit of k (spring force)
What is N/m?
These two are directly proportional according to Hooke's Law
What are spring force and displacement?
The period of this is based on the spring constant and mass.
What is the period of a Mass-Spring System?
A wave whose source vibrates with simple harmonic motion
What is a sine wave?
Define waves
What is a displacement of matter?
The largest an angle can be for the amplitude of a pendulum to increase proportional to the restoring force
What is 14 degrees?
