Waves-Physics
Mechanical Waves - correct answer ✔waves that travel along a spring


Wave - correct answer ✔a vibratory (periodic) disturbance that is transmitted
through a material or through space


Transverse Wave - correct answer ✔particles of the medium exhibit SHM
about a rest position perpendicular to the direction of the motion of the wave


Longitudinal Wave - correct answer ✔a disturbance causes the particles of
the material to vibrate in SHM in a direction parallel to the direction of motion
of the wave


Surface Wave - correct answer ✔motions of particles are both parallel and
perpendicular to the direction of the motion of the wave


Period - correct answer ✔the time it takes for the wave's motion to repeat
itself


Frequency - correct answer ✔the number of times the motion repeats itself in
a time interval of one unit of time is known as the frequency of the wave. (Hz)


Hz - correct answer ✔cycles per second (or s^-1)


Period= - correct answer ✔1/(frequency)

, Amplitude - correct answer ✔the maximum displacement of any particle in
the medium relative to its rest position


Crest - correct answer ✔the maximum upward displacement


Trough - correct answer ✔the maximum downward displacement


V= - correct answer ✔(frequency)(wavelength)


Power is relative to - correct answer ✔(frequency)^2


Same period= - correct answer ✔same length


Nodes - correct answer ✔the points that do not move (when two waves
"combine")


Antinodes - correct answer ✔crest-trough combinations


Pulse - correct answer ✔a single vibratory disturbance (pulled and then
released)


Reflection - correct answer ✔when a wave travels from one medium to
another, part of the energy of the wave is transmitted into the new medium
with the same frequency, part is absorbed, and part moves back into the
original medium (or is reflected) with the same frequency


Interference - correct answer ✔two kinds-constructive and destructive, two or
more waves result of two waves passing simultaneously through the same
