Waves And Their Applications
Cards in this deck (9)
- 1What is a wave?A disturbance propogating through a medium or space is known as a wave.
- 2What are mechanical waves?Waves that need a material medium for propgation are known as mechanical waves.
- 3What are the two types of mechanical waves?Transverse waves
Longitudinal waves - 4What are transverse waves?Waves that propagate in a direction perpendicular to the direction the particle medium move are called tranverse waves
- 5What are longitudinal waves?If the particles if the mredium oacillate parallel to the direction of wave propogation, such waves are known as longitudinal waves
- 6What do you mean by electromagmetic waves?The waves that not required a participation material particles of a medium are known as electromagnetic waves.
- 7What is amplitude of a wave?The maximum displacement shown by the particles taking part i the wave motion is known as amplitude of the wave.
- 8What is wave length of tje wave?the distance between one particle and the closest next particle taking part in the wave motion is known as the amplitude of the wave.
- 9What is a period?The time taken by the particle for a complete oscillation
