Hooke's Law
The extension is proportional to the force applied as long as the limit of proportionality not exeeded
6 of 16
Young's Modulus
Stiffness constant of a material
7 of 16
Longitudinal Waves
The parts of the wave oscillate parallel to the direction of travel
8 of 16
Transverse Waves
The parts of the wave oscillate perpendicular tot he direction of travel
9 of 16
Stationary Waves
A wave reflects to make two waves travelling in opposite directions with similar amplitude and frequency to superpose to make a stationary wave with nodes and anti nodes
10 of 16
Monochromatic
Single wavelength
11 of 16
Coherent
Same frequency/wavelength and a constant phase relationship
12 of 16
Diffraction
Spreading out of a wave when passed through a slit of around an obsical
13 of 16
Principle Of Superpossition
The resultant displacement caused by 2 waves is the sum of the 2 displacements caused by each waves at that instant
14 of 16
Node
Point of zero displacement with no amplitude
