phase difference on a single wave Flashcards
1
Q
if two points on a wave are 2pi apart we say that
A
it is equal to the wavelength
2
Q
how to find the minimum possible distance between two points
A
d = phase difference x y/2pi
3
Q
As the number of cycles between the points decreases, the wavelength…
A
increases
4
Q
so if the points are on the same cycle the wavelength is
A
at a maximum
5
Q
formula of phase difference
A
d/y x 2 pi
6
Q
To calculate the minimum possible frequency of a wave, we need to use a wavelength that is..
A
maximum
7
Q
how to find the phase difference using time period
A
time difference between the two points to reach the same phase/time period
