1
New cards

  • define amplitude


  • maximum displacement from the rest position


2
New cards

  • define wavelength


  • distance between two adjacent points oscillating in phase on a wave


3
New cards

  • define period


  • time taken for one wave cycle to pass a point


4
New cards

  • define frequency


  • number of wave cycles that pass a point per unit time


5
New cards

  • define wave speed


  • distance travelled by one wave cycle per unit time


6
New cards

  • define phase difference


  • difference in displacement between

  • → two waves

  • or

  • → two particles on the same wave
