Behavior of Waves
24
amplitude: the absolute value of the maximum displacement from zero value during one period of an oscillation
wavelength: the distance, measured in the direction of propagation of a wave, between two successive points in the wave that are characterized by the same phase of oscillation
frequency: a wave refers how often the particles of the medium vibrate when a wave passes through the medium
period: of a wave is the time for a particle on a medium to make one complete vibrational cycle
compression: is the application of balanced inward forces to different points on a material or structure
hertz: is the unit of frequency in the international system of units
trough: the lowest point on a wave
crest: the highest point on a wave
incident: wave that strikes a boundary where it is either reflected
mechanical: a wave that propagates as an oscillation of matter and therefore transfers energy through a medium
scattering: is a related phenomenon that occurs when a wave interacts with an object that has a resonance frequency the same as the wave frequency
transverse: when the particles of a medium are vibrating at right angles to the direction of energy transport
standingwave: is a wave that remains in a constant position
ultrasound: is oscillation sound pressure with a frequency greater than the upper limit of the human rage
longitudinalwave: if the particles of the medium are vibrating to and fro in the same direction of energy
constructiveinterference: is a type of interference that occurs at any location along the medium where the two interfering waves have a displacement in the same direction
electromagneticspectrum: is the range of al possible frequencies of electromagnetic radiation
wave: is a disturbance or oscillation that travels through matter/space, accompanied by a transfer of energy
destructiveinterference: is a type of interference that occurs at any location along the medium where two interfering waves have a displacement in the opposite direction
reflection: is the change in direction of a wave front at an interface between two different media so that the wave front returns into the medium from which it originated
resonance: is the tendency of a system to oscillate with greater amplitude at some frequencies that at others
interference: the simultaneous presence of two or more waves in the same position, resulting in a new wave pattern
refraction: involves a change in the direction of waves as they pass from one medium to another
diffraction: involves a change in direction of waves as they pass through an opening or around a barrier in their path
dopplereffect: the change in frequency of a wave for a n observer moving relative to its source
