Superposition
Flashcards do conjunto (10)
- 1SuperpositionThe quantum effect where multiple waves of light interfere. The resultant amplitude is changed instantaneously where they pass over each other.
- 2PhasorAn arrow that rotates at the same frequency as a wave and represents the position of the wave in its cycle.
- 3PhaseThe position of a wave in its cycle.
- 4Phase differenceThe difference in the phases of two waves.
- 5AntiphaseTwo waves interfere to produce a resultant wave with zero amplitude.
- 6Constructive interferenceWhen waves pass over one another, their amplitudes add.
- 7Destructive interferenceWhen waves pass over one another, their amplitudes cancel.
- 8Standing waveA wave can be reflected on the same path to form points where the wave appears motionless.
- 9NodesPoints in a standing wave that contain minimum displacement.
- 10AntinodesPoints in a standing wave that contain maximum displacement.
