PhYS 1500 Chapter 9

Chapter 9

QuestionAnswe
Natural Resonance Energy in an isolated system of objects that causes it to preform the same motion over and over again.
Oscillation Restoring forces that result in a repeating motion.
Period The time it takes to complete one full cycle of an oscillation.
Harmonic Oscillator Restoring forces are proportional to its displacement from equilibrium.
Anharmonic Oscillator Restoring forces cease to be equal to its displacement from equilibrium.
Hertz cycle per second/ SI unit of frequency.
Pitch Frequency of a sound.
Fundamental Vibrational Node When the strong arcs completely one way and then the other, the center of the strong travels the furthest, and maximum potential and kinetic energy is reached.
Mechanical Wave Created through artificial means. (Music)
High Order of Vibrational Modes String vibrates as a chain of shorter strings arching in alternate directions.
Superposition When waves stand on top of one another.
Resonant Energy Transfer When modest force does work in synchronicity with natural resonance.
Longitudinal Wave Wave in which the underlying oscillation is parallel to the wave itself.
Traveling Waves Waves that move steadily in a particular direction.
Dopler Effect When the frequency of sound shifts because of a change in distance between the source and where is being heard.
Dispersion When wave length is dependent on speed.
Refraction Water shallows when a wave changes direction.
Reflection When a wave bounces off a wall such as a cliff or dock.
Interference Waves overlap each other.
Constructive Interference Waves work together to create immense crests or troughs.
Destructive Interference Waves lack crests of trough because they interfere with one another.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
