Term Definition
lowest part of transverse wave trough
the SI unit for frequency Hertz
any interference in which waves combine so that the resulting wave is smaller than the largest of the original waves destructive interference
the distance between any two successive identical parts of a wave wavelength
highest point of a transverse wave crest
an observed change in the frequency of a wave when the source or observer is moving Doppler effect
a disturbance that transmits energy through a medium or space wave
the matter through which a wave travels medium
any interference in which waves combine so that the resulting wave is bigger than the original waves constructive interference
the greatedt distance that particles in a medium move from there normal position when a wave passes amplitude
the number of vibrations that occur in a 1 second interval frequency
water and light waves are... transverse waves
traffic and sound waves are... longitudinal waves
a single disturbance going through a medium pulse
places of no movement nodes
places of maximum displacement from the baseline antinodes
musical instruments are.... standing waves
abbreviation for Hertz Hz
degree of normal 90
abbreviation for decibel dB
threshold of pain 120 dB
seven parts of the electromagnetic spectrum (lowest wavelength to highest) gamma rays, x-rays, UV rays, visible light, infrared radiation, microwaves, radio waves
as frequency increases, wavelength... decreases
