waves Flashcards
1
Q
describe the amplitude across a stationary wave
A
changes as you go along with largest amplitude at peaks and no amplitude at the nodes
1
Q
describe the frequency across a stationary wave
A
frequency is not constant throughout at nodes have no frequency
2
Q
describe the amplitude across a progressive wave
A
constant throughout as each part of the wave has the same maximum displacement
3
Q
describe the phase difference betweeb two particles on a stationary wave
A
- all particles between nodes are in phase
- all particles in adjacent loops are anti-phase
