VIBRATIONAL SPECTRA OF METAL CARBONYL
COMPLEXES FOR BONDING EXAM QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS
Period - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-The time it takes for one
cycle.
sine curve - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-A sine curve is a
pictorial representation of a wave.
crests - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-The high points on a wave
are called crests.
,troughs - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-The low points on a wave
are called troughs.
amplitude - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-The term amplitude
refers to the distance from the midpoint to the
crest(or trough) of the wave.The amplitude is the
maximum displacement from equilibrium.
wavelength - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-The wavelength of a
wave is the distance from the top of one crest to the
top of the next one.
equilibrium position - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-A condition
in which all acting influences are canceled by others,
resulting in a stable, balanced, or unchanging
system.
vibration - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-the oscillating,
reciprocating, or other periodic motion of a rigid or
,elastic body or medium forced from a position or
state of equilibrium.
disturbance - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-An alteration or
displacement of a region of a medium from its
equilibrium state.
transmitted - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-to cause (light, heat,
sound, etc.) to pass through a medium.
to convey or pass along (an impulse, force, motion,
etc.).
wave - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-any regularly recurring
event, Waves are characterized by wavelength,
frequency, and the speed at which they move.A
wave is disturbance or oscillation (of a physical
quantity), that travels through matter or space,
accompanied by a transfer of energy
, pendulum - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-as a mass, or bob,
connected to a rod or rope, that experiences simple
harmonic motion as it swings back and forth
without friction.
oscillatory motion - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-Oscillation is
the repetitive variation, typically in time, of some
measure about a central value (often a point of
equilibrium) or between two or more different
states.
simple harmonic motion - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-The
back-and-forth vibratory motion—called oscillatory
motion—of a swinging pendulum is called
simple harmonic motion. (maximum displacement
from the equilibrium position)
