Interactions of waves
properties
100
vibration in matter
What is waves
100
a wave that moves the medium in a Direct perpendicular (at a right angle) to the direction in which The waves travel
What is Transverse waves
100
he duration of one complete cycle of a wave or oscillation: the reciprical of the frequency
What is Period
100
the bouncing back of an object or a wave when it hits a surface through which it cannot pass
What is reflection
100
the maximum distance the particles of a medium move away from their rest positions as a wave passes through the medium
What is Amplitude
200
how are waves formed
What is when matter vibrates
200
move the medium parallel to the direction
What is longitudinal
200
a point at zero amplitude on a standing wave
What is Nodes
200
When 2 waves overlap and cancel each other out making it appear as if there are no waves is known as this.
What is Destructive Interference?
200
the number of complete waves that pass a given point in a certain amount of time
What is frequency
300
the ability to do work
What is energy
300
particles of the medium are close together
What is compression
300
This happens to the period of a mass on a spring when you move them to the surface of Jupiter (more massive planet).
What is the period increases.
300
When a wave goes from the air into water, this happens to the wavespeed.
What is the wavespeed increases.
300
wavelength x frequency= ? ? ?
What is Speed
400
the material through which a wave travels
What is medium
400
particles of the medium are farther together
What is rarefaction
400
This happens to the period of a pendulum when you triple the mass hanging from the end, but keep the length the same.
What is the period stays the same?
400
the interaction between any two or more waves that meet in the same location.
What is Interference?
400
This happens to the frequency of a pendulum when the mass is kept the same, but the length is increased.
What is the frequency decreases.
500
a repeated back-and-forth or up-and-down motion
What is vibrations
500
the highest and lowest parts of a wave
What is crest&trough
500
When two waves interfere causing an even bigger wave is known as this.
What is Constructive Interference?
500
The point on a vibrating string that has maximum movement.
What is an anti-node?
500
the reflection of a sound wave
What is Echo
