16304988108 | Upright | the larger displacement remains in the same direction before and after reflection *happens in free end | 8 | |
16305102287 | Characteristics that distinguish different times of waves | 1.Dimensionality 2.Travelling and standing 3.Duration 4.Length | 9 | |
16305140990 | Traveling waves | if the wave disturbance is confined to a small region of the medium the b/t disturbed and undisturbed medium will move through the medium | 10 | |
16305210779 | Standing Wave | medium moves in a periodic way the locations of extreme disturbance do not move through the medium | 11 | |
16305225130 | Transverse Wave | medium motion is perpendicular to the wave motion | 12 | |
16305248903 | Longitudinal Waves | (compression) medium motion is along the same line as the wave motion | 13 | |

16309265220 | Tension Force | resulting tightness in the string speed of a transverse wave on string | 17 | |
16309293961 | Nodes | places where medium is never disturbed | 18 | |
16309301233 | Antinodes | places where the medium is disturbed the most | 19 | |
16309376527 | Closed tube | fixed displacement end | 20 | |
16309382344 | open tube | free displacement end | 21 | |
16309397566 | Consonance | certain pairs of musical pitches sound nicer together | 22 | |
16309407343 | Dissconant | opp 2 pitches that sound grating together | 23 | |
16309440336 | Fourier Theorem | any standing wave can be built by superposition from sinusoidal standing wave | 24 | |
16309481418 | Reeds | narrow rectangles of thin metal spring back to their equilibrium position after being plucked | 25 | |
16309503191 | Flutes and Reeds are called | woodwinds | 26 | |
16309525553 | Vibrating energy source | lips, reeds, airstream | 27 | |
16309539500 | Methods for notes | valve, modes, slides, tone holes | 28 | |
16309560308 | Resonance | When the driving frequency matches the natural frequency | 29 | |
16309571212 | Feedback | any situation where the chain of cause and effect circles back on itself | 30 | |
16309584336 | Response | output of a device system depends only on the input provided | 31 | |
16309626748 | Register Hole | A hole that can be opened in order to cause an instrument to play in a higher register -possible to force node in middle -open up an octave -place half way of affective length from opening Lower register and upper register | 32 | |
16309661746 | 4 ways to adjust length of instrument | 1.don't change the length, but provide a set of tubes with a variety of fixed lengths 2.provide a slide that shortens and lengthens the tube 3.Add valves 4.Add tone holes | 33 | |
16309711993 | Dispersion | if speed of a wave depends on its shape then the medium is called a dispersive medium 1 consequence: As a traveling wave moves the shape of the disturbance may change | 34 | |
16309777468 | n is a | whole number | 35 | |
16309782584 | m is a | half integer | 36 | |
16309814923 | perfect fifth | 3/2 | 37 | |

Need Notes?
While we strive to provide the most comprehensive notes for as many high school textbooks as possible, there are certainly going to be some that we miss. Drop us a note and let us know which textbooks you need. Be sure to include which edition of the textbook you are using! If we see enough demand, we'll do whatever we can to get those notes up on the site for you!
