4 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What is the difference between transverse and longitudinal waves?
Think about how the particles of the wave move relative to the wave itself.
Define wavelength.
It’s a measure of how far apart wave features are.
What type of wave has particles that oscillate perpendicular to the direction of propagation?
Think of how light or water waves behave.
Is constructive interference possible when two waves overlap in phase?
Consider what happens to the heights of overlapping waves.
A sound wave has a frequency of 440 Hz and travels at a speed of 340 m/s. What is its wavelength?
Remember to rearrange the wave speed formula to solve for wavelength.
In the double-slit experiment, if the distance between slits is 0.5 mm and the distance from the slits to the screen is 2 m, calculate the distance between the first and second bright fringes for a light of wavelength 600 nm.
Keep track of units and convert as necessary to ensure consistency.
