What happens when waves interfere constructively?

The amplitude of the resulting wave is increased.

All Flashcards

What happens when waves interfere constructively?
The amplitude of the resulting wave is increased.
What happens when waves interfere destructively?
The amplitude of the resulting wave is decreased.
What is the definition of Period (T)?
The time required for one complete cycle of a wave.
What is the definition of Amplitude?
The maximum displacement of a point on a wave from its equilibrium position.
What is the definition of Frequency (f)?
The number of complete cycles of a wave that occur per unit of time.
What is the definition of Velocity (v)?
The speed at which a wave propagates through a medium.
What is the definition of Wavelength (位)?
The distance between two consecutive corresponding points on a wave.
What is the definition of Interference?
The phenomenon that occurs when two or more waves overlap in the same region of space, resulting in a new wave pattern.
What is the definition of a Node?
A point along a standing wave where the wave has minimal amplitude.
What is the definition of an Antinode?
A point along a standing wave where the wave has maximum amplitude.
What is the definition of Period (T)?
The time required for one complete cycle of a wave.
What is the definition of Amplitude?
The maximum displacement of a point on a wave from its equilibrium position.
What is the definition of Frequency (f)?
The number of complete cycles of a wave that occur per unit of time.
What is the definition of Velocity (v)?
The speed at which a wave propagates through a medium.
What is the definition of Wavelength (位)?
The distance between two consecutive points in phase on a wave, such as crest to crest or trough to trough.
What is the definition of Interference?
The phenomenon that occurs when two or more waves overlap in space, resulting in a new wave pattern.
What is the definition of a Node?
A point along a standing wave where the amplitude is at a minimum (usually zero).
What is the definition of an Antinode?
A point along a standing wave where the amplitude is at a maximum.
