Waves and Wave Motion
Fichas del conjunto (11)
- 1Transverse Waveis a wave where the direction of vibration is perpendicular to the direction in which the wave travels
- 2Longitudinal waveis a wace where the direction of vibration is parallel to the direction in which the wave travels
- 3ReflectionThe bouncing of waves off an obstacle in their path is called reflection of waves
- 4Reflectionthe bouncing of waves off of an obstacle in their path is called reflection of waves
- 5Refraction Of Wavesthe changing of direction of a wave when it enters a region where its speed changes is called refreaction
- 6DiffractionThe sideways spreading of waves into the region beyond a gap or around an obstacle is called diffraction
- 7InterferenceWhen waves from two sources meet, a new wave is produced. The displacement produced at any point by this wave is the algebraic sum of the displacements that each wave would produce on its own. this is called interference of waves.
- 8Constructive interferenceWhen waves from two sources meet and the amplitude of the resulting wave is greater than the amplitudes of each of the individual waves the waves are said to undergo constructive interference
- 9Destructive interferenceWhen waves from two sources meet and the amplitude of the resulting wave is less than the amplitude of the individual waves it is said to undergo destructive interference.
- 10Coherent SourcesTwo sources of periodic waves are said to be coherent if they are in phase or if there is a constant phase difference between waves from each of the sources. If this is so the sources must also have the same frequency.
- 11Interference patternWhen waves from two or more coherent sources meet, the resulting wave pattern formed is called an interference pattern
