Flashcards do conjunto (9)
- 1Explain what is meant by the principle of superposition.The principle of superposition states that when two waves superimpose, the resulting displacement at a given instant and position is equal to the sum of the individual displacements.
- 2Define AmplitudeMaximum Displacement
- 3Define Time PeriodThe time taken for one complete oscillation
- 4Define wavelengthThe distance between any two points at the same point of the wave cycle
- 5What does the "phase" represent?It describes the stage in a wave cycle
- 6What does it mean to be "in phase" and "out of phase?"It defines whether two points are at the same stage in the wave cycle.
- 7If two waves are doing the complete opposite things at the same moment, they are said to be in.......antiphase
- 8In which direction do phasors turn?Anticlockwise
- 9What must the phase difference be for two waves that are in phase? Similarly for antiphase?To be in Phase: Phase difference must be 0 or a multiple of 360
To be in antiphase: Phase difference must be a multiple of 180
