, Power of 10 Metric System 10^9 Giga (G) billion
10^6 Mega (M) million
10^3 kilo (k) thousand
10^2 hecto (h) hundred
10^1 deca (da) ten
10^-1 deci (d) tenTH
10^-2 centi (c) hundredTH
10^-3 milli (m) thousandTH
10^-6 micro (µ) millionTH
10^-9 nano (n) billionTH
Power of 10 Complementary Metric Units Giga/nano
Mega/micro
kilo/milli
hecto/centi
deca/deci
Interference The combination of two or more waves that results in a single wave
In-Phase Waves/ Constructive Interference Peaks / troughs occur at the sane time and place.
Resulting wave is larger than either single wave.
Out-of-Phase Waves/ Destructive Interference Peaks / troughs occur at different times.
Resulting wave is smaller than either single wave.
When two out-of-phase waves are equal amplitude, complete destructive
interference occurs resulting in no wave form.
Interference of Waves with Different Frequencies When the frequencies of the waves differ, both constructive and destructive
interference occur.
Sound (Pt. 1) A type of wave that carries energy from one place to another place.
