, Terms in this set (48)
the time taken (in seconds) for one complete cycle of a
periodic time
wave, vibration, or oscillation
T = 1/f time period, T (in seconds) and frequency, f (in hertz)
the distance in metres (m) travelled by a wave in one second
wave speed
(s)
the distance (in metres) between two nearest corresponding
wavelength points on a wave, e.g. the distance between two peaks
(crests)
the number of waves produced in one second or the number
frequency
of waves that pass a point each second
the maximum displacement of a wave from its undisturbed
amplitude
position
a regular repetitive motion, e.g. a weight on a spring
oscillation bouncing up and down, or a pendulum swinging backwards
and forwards
a wave in which the direction of oscillations is perpendicular
transverse
(at right angles) to the direction of the wave
a wave in which the direction of oscillations is parallel to the
longitudinal
direction of the wave
the oscillating distance of a point on a wave from its
displacement
undisturbed position
two or more sources of waves that have the same frequency
coherence
and are in phase or have a constant phase difference
the difference between the distances that two waves have
path difference travelled when they meet at a point (usually measured as a
multiple of wavelengths)
the amount by which one wave leads or lags (falls behind)
phase difference another wave (usually measured in degrees, where 360⁰
corresponds to one full wave cycle)
in phase when two waves have zero phase difference
antiphase (completely out of when two waves have a phase difference of 180⁰ (half a wave
phase) cycle)
when two or more waves combine; their displacements are
superposition
added together (displacements can cancel each other out)
