Fichas del conjunto (17)
- 1WavelengthDistance between consecutive points that are in phase (meters)
- 2PeriodT, time for one wavelength to pass a given point (seconds)
- 3Frequencyf, number of waves passing a given point per second (hertz, Hz)
- 4Wave speedV = frequency x wavelength = wavelength / time
- 5Distance between consecutive nodeswavelength / 2
- 6Distance between a node and the nearest anti nodeWavelength / 4
- 7LongitudinalOscillation is parallel to the path of the waves direction of travel
- 8TransverseOscillation is perpendicular to the path of the wave's direction
- 9WavefrontCrest of the wave
- 10RayParallel to the direction of travel, perpendicular to wavefront
- 11RefractionThe bending of a wave when it enters a medium where its speed is different
- 12DiffractionThe slight bending of light as it passes around the edge of an object
- 13DispersionThe separation of white light into colours or of any radiation according to wavelength
- 14Nodal pointA node is a point along a standing wave where the wave has minimum amplitude
- 15Resonance frequencyA natural frequency of vibration determined by the physical parameters of the vibrating object
- 16Absolute refractive indexA number indicating the speed of light in a given medium as either the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to that in the given medium or the ratio of the speed of light in a specified medium to that in the given medium
- 17Principle of superpositionStates that, for all linear systems, the net response at a given place and time caused by 2 or more stimuli is the sum of the responses which would have been caused by each stimulus individually
