Stationary Waves
Cards in this deck (9)
- 1What is a stationary waveThese are standing waves with the displacement perpindicular to the movement of the wave
- 2If you increase the frequency of a standing wave what happensa stable pattern begins to occur with nodes and antinodes between the fixed end and the free end. The greater the frequency the more antinodes and nodes that occur
- 3What is a point of maximum displacementit is called an antinode
- 4What is a point with 0 displacement called on a standing waveThis is a node
- 5How do you define phase differencephase difference occurs when a points moves along the wave. A phase difference of 180 degrees occus at the mirrored point in the next part of the wave
- 6How does a stationary wave occurThey occur when a material in wire like shape is vibrated between two fixed points
- 7What is the separation between an adjacent node and an antinodewavelength/4
- 8How can you work out the speed of the wavev=f wavelength
- 9what helps produce a standing wavea signal generator and a vibrtion generator
