BTEC Applied Science Unit 1: Physics. Amplitude - Correct answer-The maximum value of displacement in the oscillation cycle Displacement - Correct answer-How far the quantity has moved from its rest value at any given time Period - Correct answer-The time taken for one whole cycle of an oscillation Oscillation - Correct answer-A regularly repeating motion about a central value Wave speed equation - Correct answer-Wave speed = frequency x wavelength / v=fλ Transverse waves - Correct answer-The displacement of the wave is at right angles to the direction of wave travel Longitudinal waves - Correct answer-The displacement of the wave is parallel tot he direction of wave travel Stationary waves - Correct answer-Two waves travelling in opposite directions/ energy is trapped in pockets Name the types of stationary waves from smallest to largest - Correct answer-1st harmonic (fundamental), 2nd harmonic, 3rd harmonic, 4th harmonic What is the wavelength of a 1st harmonic stationary wave - Correct answer-1/2 a wavelength / 1/2λ
