Waves

Question 1

Period relationship

Answer 1

T

Question 2

Trough

Answer 2

Low point of wave

Question 3

Frequency relationship

Answer 3

1/T

Question 4

Speed relationship

Answer 4

Speed= wavelength/period
Speed= frequency*wavelength

Question 5

Amplitude

Answer 5

Max height the wave rises above the level surface

Question 6

Reflection

Answer 6

The wave bounces and goes in a new direction

Question 8

Refraction

Answer 8

Wave bends as it passes into and through an object

Question 9

Longitudinal wave

Answer 9

Oscillations Are in the same direction that the wave moves

Question 10

Equilibrium position

Answer 10

When the slinky is stretched from end to end and is held at rest

Question 13

Constructive interference

Answer 13

Waves add up to make a larger amplitude

Question 14

Diffraction

Answer 14

Wave bends around an object or through the holes in the object

Question 16

Wave pulse

Answer 16

Short ‘burst’ of a traveling wave

Question 17

Destructive interference

Answer 17

Waves add up to make a wave with smaller or zero amplitude

Question 18

Superposition principle

Answer 18

Total oscillation of any point is the sum of the oscillations from each individual wave

Question 19

Wave speed equation (velocity equation)

Answer 19

V= f (wavelength)

Question 20

Absorption

Answer 20

Wave is absorbed and disappears

Question 21

Crest

Answer 21

High point of wave

Question 22

Transverse wave

Answer 22

Oscillations Not in the same direction as the wave moves

Question 33

Wavelength

Answer 33

Distance form any point on a wave to the same point on the next cycle of the wave
