Physics keywords waves
Cards in this deck (10)
- 1AmplitudeThe measure of the amount of pressure in a wave
- 2WavelengthMeasure of one peak to the next peak
- 3FrequencyNumber of peaks that pass in a certain amount of time (measured in Hertz, Hz)
- 4SpeedSpeed in waves is called velocity (measured in m/s)
- 5PhaseThe different parts of a wave as described as part of a cycle
- 6CoherenceWhere two wave have the same frequency but are out of phase with each other
- 7ResonanceThe storing of energy in a oscillation or stationary wave, the energy coming from an external source of appropriately matched frequency
- 8Forcing frequency / driving frequencyThe frequency of wave energy from an external force
- 9NodesWhere there appears to be no movement
- 10AntinodesWhere there appears to be maximum movement
