QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT
DETAILED ANSWERS GRADED A+
what causes interference patterns? - Answer-when waves from diff sources arrive at the
same point and time. Increase, decrease and neutralized
how does a standing wave occur? - Answer-by shaking something just right; original
and reflective waves
Is it possible for one wave to cancel another wave so that the combined amplitude is
zero? - Answer-yes. complete destructive interference
at what wavelength can a standing wave form in a vibrating medium? - Answer-if half a
wavelength or a multiple of 1/2 a wavelength fits exactly into the length of the vibrating
medium
how does the frequency of waves change as a wave source moves? - Answer-as wave
sources approach, waves have higher frequency
when a source moves towards you, do you measure an increase or decrease in wave
speed? - Answer-increase
what causes a bow wave? - Answer-a wave source moving faster than the wave it
produces
what causes a shock wave? - Answer-an object moving faster than the speed of sound
define harmonic motion - Answer-any motion that is repetitive and is caused by a
restoring force
define restoring force - Answer-tries to return an object to equilibrium
define linear motion - Answer-goes from here to there; one direction
