What is 1 radian
1 radian is the angle created when both the arc length and radius have the value r.
1 of 14
What do radians measure?
Phase which is a point in oscillation.
2 of 14
Conversion between radians and degrees
1 radian = no. of degrees x pi/180
3 of 14
What does oscillation mean
regular variation in magnitude or position about a central point.
4 of 14
What does the term anti-phase mean
The particles are at opposite points in their oscillation.
5 of 14
How many radians do waves in anti-phase differ by?
pi radians
6 of 14
What does the term in-phase mean
The particles, of the waves, are at the same point in their oscillation.
7 of 14
How many radians do waves in in-phase differ by?
2pi radians
8 of 14
Difference between a distance time graph and displacement time graph
Displacement time graphs have a negative scale whereas distance time graphs don't.
9 of 14
Which wave is ahead in a distance-displacement graph?
wave ahead travels a greater displacement at the same point in oscillation.
10 of 14
Which wave is ahead in a distance-time graph?
wave ahead travels the same distance at the same point in oscillation but at a lower time period
11 of 14
What do sound waves consist of?
compressions, densest regions, and rarefactions, least dense regions.
12 of 14
equation to find radians
angle of radians = arc length/ radius
13 of 14
What are waves with a phase difference that aren't in-phase or anti-phase.
out-of-phase.
