(7 cards)
1
Q
define oscillation
A
a repetive wave motion
2
Q
define oscillation cycle
A
this is when an oscillation wave goes back and returns back into its original position
3
Q
define wavelength
A
the distance between two waves at a point
4
Q
define amplitude
A
the maxiumum displacement measured from the centre “rest” point
5
Q
define phase difference
A
this is when one wave is “ahead” or “ behind” another wave, the angulart difference between two waves
6
Q
what is the frequency formula
A
F = 1/T
