Physics key words wave
Cards in this deck (6)
- 1Wave speedThe distance travelled by the wave per unit time
- 2Period of oscillationThe time taken for one oscillation or time taken for wave to move one whole wavelength past a given point
- 3DisplacementDistance from the equilibrium position in a particular direction; a vector,so it can have either a positive or a negative value
- 4AmplitudeMaximum displacement from the equilibrium position(can be positive or negative)
- 5FrequencyThe number of wavelengths passing a given point per unit time
- 6WavelengthMinimum distance between two points in phase on adjacent waves,for example, the distance from one peak to the next or from one compression to the next
