9580054109Wavescarries energy not matter0
9580054110MediumMaterial through which a disturbance travels1
9580054111Mechanical Wavea disturbance that propagates through a deformable, elastic medium2
9580054112electromagnetic wavea combination of oscillating magnetic and electric field *transverse waves3
9580054113Electromagnetic wave examplesvisible light, radio, x-rays, gamma, infrared, ultraviolet4
9580054114PulseA single disturbance5
9580054115Periodic Wavea continueous wave produced by a source vibrating with simple harmonic motion6
9580054116Periodic Wave EXtraveling wave, continuous wave7
9580054117Transverse Wavesparticles vibrate perpendicular to propagation crest and trough8
9580054118Transverse Examplesradio, light, microwaves, stringed instrument, stadium wave, earthquake S waves (shear)9
9580054119LongitudinalParticles vibrate parallel to propagation compression and rarefaction, or condensation and expansions10
9580054120Surface WaveParticles vibrate parallel and perpendicular to propagation crest and trough travel along the boundary between two materials11
9580054121Surface Wave Examplesocean, ripples in ponds12
9580054122AmplitudeDistance from the equilibrium position to the position of maximum displacement -Energy dependent -A is var -Loudness of sound13
9580054123FrequencyThe number of cycles per second -in Hz = cycles/sec - f = 1/T -Doesn't change often14
9580054124pitchhow high or low we perceive a sound wave15
9580054125PeriodTime for one complete cycle T = 1/f16
9580054126Wavelengththe distance between an two consecutive similar parts on a wave -crest to crest, trough to trough, compression to compression -lambda17
9580054127Wave velocitythe velocity at which waves propagate18
9580054128Wave Velocity Equationv = frequency * wavelength19
9580054131In PhaseObjects have the same displacement from the equilibrium position at the same time and are vibrating in the same direction.20
9580054132Out of PhaseObjects don't have the same displacement or are vibrating in different directions21
9580054133Principle of SuperpositionWhen two or more waves are present simultaneously at the same place, the resultant disturbance is the sum of the disturbances from the individual waves22
9580054134Constructive InterferenceOccurs when two waves come together to form a larger amplitude as they pass through each other23
9580054135Destructive InterferenceOccurs when two waves come together to form a smaller resulting amplitude as they pass through each other.24
9580054136Standing WaveThe result of identical waves traveling in opposite directions forming nodes and antinodes25
9580054137Nodesa point of complete destructive interference - the medium is not displaced as the waves pass through each other26
9580054138Antinodesa point of constructive interference - the point where the displacement caused by the interfering waves is largest27
9580054139The Law of ReflectionThe angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection28
9580054140Angle of Incidencethe angle between the incident ray and the line normal to the surface29
9580054141Angle of ReflectionThe angle between the reflected ray and the line normal to the surface30
9580054142Refractionthe change of wave direction at the boundary between two media -wave length and velocity decreases as waves moves to shallower water31
9580054143diffractionThe spreading of waves around the edge of a barrier _the smaller the wavelength in comparison to the size of the obstacle, the less the diffraction -diffraction occurring with two closely spaced holes forms antinodal and nodal lines32
9580054144speed of soundDepends on medium fastest through solids, then liquids, and slowest in gasses fastest through warmer temperatures33
9580054145Doppler effectFrequency, therefore pitch, is higher as the source approaches than it is at the source34
9580054146Resonancethe condition under which a driving force can transmit large amounts of energy to an oscillating object, leading to large amplitude motion. Occurs when the frequency of the driving force matches the natural frequency at which the object oscillates35
9580054147Incident wavethe wave that moves through the boundary36
9580054148transmitted wavethe wave that moves through the new medium37
9580054149reflected wavethe energy that moves backward from a wave boundary as a wave in the old medium38
9580054150Going through mediumsChanges the amplitude and the energy carried through or reflected depending on the differences of change39
9580054151Wave is invertedwhen the wave passes from less dense to more dense; reflected wave is this40
9580054152Wave is erectwhen the wave passes from more dense to less dense, reflected wave is this41
9580054153f = velocity/wavelengthIf the speed in the new medium decreases, the wavelength will as well, because frequency stays the same no matter what.42
9580054154Hooke's LawF = -kx k is N/m43
9580054155Frequency of SoundInfrasonic, Middle, Ultrasonic44
9580054156InfrasonicBelow what we can hear; <20 Hz; Examples: Earthquakes, Machinery, Thunder45
9580054157middleWe can hear; 20Hz -> 20,000 Hz; we're most sensitive to 2,000 - 4,000 Hz46
9580054158UltrasonicAbove what we can hear; >20,000 Hz; Bats47
9580054159Beat FrequencyThe difference between the frequency of to component waves that are close in frequency The further apart the two frequencies are, the higher the beat frequency (closer = slower)48
9580054163Fundamental (1st Harmonic)Ends with Nodes: 1/2(wavelength) Open Pipe: 1/2(Wavelength) Closed Pipe: 1/4(wavelength)49
