Karten in diesem Stapel (21)
- 1What is a wave?wave is a vibration in which energy can be transferred with out transferring matter
- 2what are the Two Types of waves?Transverse and Longitudinal
- 3What are Transverse waves?are waves which Particles oscillate perpendicular to energy transfer
- 4What are Longitudinal waves?are waves which Particles oscillate parallel to energy transfer
- 5all Longitudinal waves need a what to travel throughMedium e.g air, solids , liquid
- 6What is the 3 variables waves have-amplitude
- wavelength
-frequency - 7What is wavelength?is the distance between two points on two adjacent waves
- 8what is amplitude?is the maximum displacement of a point e.g peak from its undisturbed position
- 9what is frequency?is the number of complete waves passing a certain point per second
- 10what is wavelength measured in?m (meters)
- 11what is frequency measured in?Hz (Hertz)
- 12What is the crest of a wave?the part of the wave above resting point (positive part of wave)
- 13What is the trough of a wave?the part of the wave below resting point (negative part of wave)
- 14what is the undisturbed point of a wave?the center line of wave
- 15what is time period?the amount of time it takes for a full cycle of a wave to pass a point
- 16what is a full cycle?when a waves crest and trough goes through a 360 electrical
- 17what is wave speed?the speed at which energy is being transferred (the speed of the wave)
- 181 Hz is ..... per secondwave
- 19what is the equation linking period and frequency?T= 1/f
- 20what is the equation linking wave speed, frequency and wavelength?Wave speed (V) = Frequency x wavelength
- 21what is the units for wave speed?m/s
