Waves

Question 1

Wave speed =

Answer 1

Frequency x wavelength

Question 2

Phase difference

Answer 2

How much further through an oscillation one wave is than another measured as an angle

Question 3

Path difference

Answer 3

How much further one wave has travelled than another

Question 4

Longitudinal

Answer 4

Oscillations that travel parallel to propagation

Question 5

Transverse

Answer 5

Oscillations that travel perpendicular to propagation

Question 6

Progressive wave

Answer 6

Transfers energy from one place to another

Question 7

Frequency

Answer 7

Number of wavelengths that pass a point per unit time

Question 8

Wavelength

Answer 8

The distance between 2 adjacent peaks

Question 9

Reflection happens when

Answer 9

A wave travels from one medium to another, changing speed

Question 10

I (intensity) =

Answer 10

P/A

Question 11

Intensity directly proportional to

Answer 11

(Amplitude)^2

Question 12

Intensity

Answer 12

Energy transfer per unit time, per unit perpendicular area

Question 13

A wave is plane polarised if

Answer 13

All of the oscillations are in the same plane

Question 14

Only transverse waves can be polarised becuase

Answer 14

All longitudinal waves oscillate parallel to propagation
