Term
is a pictoral representaion of a wave produced by simple harmonic motion.
Definition
sine curve.
Term
the time of a to and fro swing is called a

speed of a pendulume will also depend on the acceleration of _________2________.
Definition
1. longer
2. Gravity
Term
High point6s of sine curve=
low points of a sine curve=
Definition
1.crest
2.through
Term
curve that represents the crest,throughs of a wave, traced by a pendulume.
Definition
sine curve
Term
distance from midpoint to crest=1
distance from top of one crest to top of next crest=2
specifies the number of two-fro vibrations in one second.=3
Definition
1. amplitude
2.wavelength
3.frequency
Term
units of frequency are called______1________, two vibrton will equal how many of these.
Definition
hertz
Term
__________ of a vibration or wave is the time for one complete vibration.one is always divided by one of these numbers.
Definition
period
Term
energy being transfereed from source to reciever without the transfer of matter beetween the two points.
Definition
wave motion
Term
distance of one wavelength and the time is one period.
-the formula is wavelength/period
Definition
wave speed
Term
up and down wave motions are called
Definition
transverse waves.
Term
waves that move along a stright direction across like a slinky for example.
Definition
transverse waves.,
Term
when waves meet is called
Definition
wave interference
Term
overlapping of waves______1______
when wave amplitude increses and wave overlaps a through__2_
when a crest overlaps a through is called _____3_____
Definition
1.wave interference
2. constructive intereference
3. destructive intereference.
Term
stationary wave pattern formecd in a medium when two sets of identical waves pass through the medium in opposire directons.
Definition
standing wave
Term
regions of no energy in a wave _______, maximum energy displacement ___________
Definition
1. nodes
!2. antinodes
Term
change in frequency of a wave of sound or light due to the motion of the source or the reciever.


ex. when a loud thimg is closer to you its louder, when it gets further away it gets quiter.

blue shift/ red shift is what.
Definition
doppler efffect.

Increase/decrease.
Term
when an object moves faster then sound waves
