amplitude, power, intensity, wavelength, propagation speed
Quiz :how do particles move in soundwaves - Answer :longitudinally- particles
move in the same direction that the wave propagates (parallel)
, Quiz :in-phase wave - Answer :when their peaks and troughs occur at the
same time
Quiz :out of phase wave - Answer :peaks and troughs occur at difference
times
-either inverted or out of step
Quiz :what occurs when waves lose their individual characteristics and
combine to form a single wave - Answer :interference
Quiz :what combination of waves results in the formation of a single wave of
greater amplitude of either components - Answer :constructive interference
Quiz :what kind of wave causes the formation of a single wave of lesser
amplitude causing what types of interference - Answer :out of phase
destructive interference
Quiz :what occures when 2 out of phase waves of equal amplitude interfere -
Answer :complete destructive interference
Quiz :what types of waves (phase) occur with complete destructive
interference - Answer :out of phase waves
Quiz :what causes waves to be momentarily in phase and out of phase
(causing constructive and destructive interference) - Answer :waves of
difference frequencies
Quiz :what type of waves of difference frequencies result in (type of
interference) - Answer :constructive and destructive
