Term
What does the speed of a wave depend on? |
|
Definition
THE SPEED OF A WAVE DEPENDS ON ITS MEDIUM
((It's independent of wavelength and frequency))
speed of wave depends (sqroot Force Factor/ Mass of something) |
|
|
Term
What does the frequency of a wave depend on? |

Term
Antinodes vs Nodes in waves |
|
Definition
antinodes = loops
nodes = points of no displacement between loops |

First Law of Thermodynamics
-Change in internal energy can be either negative or positive.
-If (deltaU >0) the energy in the system increases, if opposite the energy in the system decreases
|
|
Definition
(delta U) = Q + W
W = P(deltaV)
If work is done ON the system, W > 0
If work is done BY the system, W < 0
I have U; I do W; and Q flows into me |

Term
-Thermodynamic Processes-
Isothermal |
|
Definition
-keeps the temperature constant
(delta T) = 0
(delta U) = 0
SO -Q = W
PV = nKT |

|
Term
-Thermodynamic Processes-
Adiabatic
|
|
Definition
-no heat flows
(Q = 0)
happens when something is done super fast |
|

Term
-Thermodynamic Processes-
Isobaric
|
|
Definition
-Constant Pressure but change in volume
Q = (delta U) + W |
