Waves And Pulses

Question 1

Pulse

Answer 1

Single disturbance in a wave the moves from one direction to another

Question 2

Transverse pulse

Answer 2

Occurs when particles move perpendicular to the sources direction

Question 3

Frequency

Answer 3

F , cycles per second measures in hertz Hz

Question 4

Period

Answer 4

T seconds per cycle measured in seconds

Question 5

Constructive interference

Answer 5

Two pulses meet at the same point and the amplitudes are then added together

Question 6

Interference

Answer 6

Two or more pulses are at th same point in the same place and at the same time

Question 7

Destructive interference

Answer 7

When two pulses or waves meet at the same point in the same medium they superimpose on each other to creat a lower amplitude

Question 8

amplitude

Answer 8

Maxim displacement of a particle in a medium Ym

Question 9

Phase

Answer 9

Is related to the particles and there position on the medium

Question 10

Wave length

Answer 10

Shortest point between two points that are in phase

Question 11

Longitudinal wave

Answer 11

Disturbance of medium is proportionate to the propagation direction

Answer 12

)))) when pressure is created through a medium

Peak

Question 13

Rarefaction

Answer 13

Space between compression

Trough

Question 14

Angle of incident

Answer 14

Angle that sound hits hard surface is equal to the trajectory

Question 15

Reverberation

Answer 15

Echoed

Question 16

Pitch

Answer 16

Determined by frequency

Question 17

Distance

Answer 17

The Length of the actual path

Question 18

Displacement

Answer 18

Change in position of the object

Question 19

Question 20

Vector

Answer 20

Has magnitude and direction

Question 21

Acceleration

Answer 21

Rate of change in velocity

Question 22

Superposition

Answer 22

When two waves or pulses meet in the same medium at the same time
