PHYSICS WAVE QUESTIONS SET OF QUESTIONS ABOUT WAVE BEHAVIOUR. 0.0 / 5 ? PhysicsWavesASOCR Created by: CoreyFroggattCreated on: 14-03-14 22:51 WHAT IS THE PRINCIPLE OF SUPERPOSITION? THE IDEA THAT MOTIONS FROM DIFFERENT WAVES ADD TOGETHER. 1 of 14 WHAT'S AN OSCILLATION? A REGULARLY REPEATING MOVEMENT. 2 of 14 DEFINE A TRANSVERSE WAVE. A WAVE IN WHICH ENERGY IS DISPLACED AT RIGHT ANGLES TO THE DIRECTION OF THE WAVE. 3 of 14 DEFINE A LONGITUDINAL WAVE A WAVE IN WHICH ENERGY IS DISPLACED IN THE SAME DIRECTION AS THE WAVE. 4 of 14 WHAT IS A PROGRESSIVE WAVE? A WAVE THAT CAN BE TRANSVERSE/LONGITUDINAL AND TRAVELS FROM ONE PLACE TO ANOTHER AT A PARTICULAR SPEED. 5 of 14 WHAT'S A STATIONARY WAVE? WAVES TRAVELLING IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS AT THE RIGHT SPEED AND FREQUENCY CAN SUPERPOSE AND CREATE A WAVE WHICH SEEMS TO BE STATIONARY. 6 of 14 THE SPEED OF A WAVE EQUALS THE...? FREQUENCY x WAVELENGTH. (OR DISTANCE / TIME...) 7 of 14 WHAT DOES THE PHASE OF A WAVE TELL US? WHERE THE WAVE IS IN ITS CYCLE. 8 of 14 IF TWO WAVES ARE IN PHASE, THEY ARE? DOING THE SAME THING AT THE SAME MOMENT. 9 of 14 IF TWO WAVES ARE IN ANTIPHASE, THEY ARE? DOING EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE THING AT THE SAME MOMENT. 10 of 14 GIVE A SYNONYM FOR 'ROTATING CLOCK ARROW'. PHASOR. 11 of 14 ONE FULL TURN (360 DEGREES) IS EQUAL TO HOW MANY RADIANS? 2PI RADIAN. 12 of 14 WHAT'S THE EQUATION FOR CONVERTING DEGREES TO RADIANS? (THETA / 360) x 2PI 13 of 14 y (THE HORIZONTAL DISPLACEMENT) ON A ROTATING CLOCK ARROW IS GIVEN BY...? aSinTHETA (where A is the phasor length). 14 of 14
