What are 3 ways a wave can be described?

A wave can be described by its wavelength (distance between two consecutive crests or troughs), frequency (number of crests passing a fixed point per unit of time), and amplitude (maximum displacement of a wave from its rest position).


How much time is there between two wave crests?

The time between two wave crests is the period of the wave, typically measured in seconds. It is calculated as the inverse of the frequency of the wave, which is the number of wave crests passing a fixed point per second.


What is a stationary wave called?

A stationary wave is also known as a standing wave. It is formed by the interference of two waves traveling in opposite directions but with the same frequency and amplitude. Standing waves appear to be stationary because the crests and troughs remain in fixed positions.


What is wave period?

the time it takes for any two crest to troughs to pass a stationary point.

Uniform wave motion consists of a progress of a progression of wave crests and troughts counting the number of crests that pass a fixed point in a one-second time interval measures the what of the wa?

The number of crests that pass a fixed point in a one-second time interval is called the "frequency" of the wave. It's also equal to the (speed of the wave) divided by the (wavelength)


How are pitch and amplitude the same?

They aren't the same. Imagine a water wave - the pitch (that is, the frequency) is the number of wave crests passing a fixed point per second. The amplitude is the height of the wave For a sound wave, the pitch is again related to the number of wave crests per second that pass a fixed point. The amplitude in this case is a measure of pressure difference between wave maxima and minima.


One end of a rope is fixed and the other end is shaking rhythmically. a stationary (standing) wave is formed on the rope. explain how such a wave is formed on the r?

The stationary wave on the rope is formed due to interference between a wave traveling to the fixed end and reflecting back (forming a standing wave pattern). At certain frequencies, the reflected wave interferes constructively or destructively with the incident wave, leading to regions of maximum and minimum amplitude (nodes and antinodes) on the rope. This results in the appearance of a stationary wave with distinct patterns of crests and troughs.


What does it mean for light to be coherent?

Coherent light is light that has a fixed phase relationship between its waves, meaning the peaks and troughs of the waves are aligned. This property allows coherent light to produce interference patterns, such as in laser beams, where the waves reinforce each other to create a concentrated and powerful light source.


Would a coolant leak in the head gasket between the coolant passage and the oil passage cause the cooling system to not build up pressure?

if you have antifreezecoolant in your oil you need to tow your car to get it fixed


What is the difference between adjacent wave compressions?

The difference between adjacent wave compressions is the distance between their peaks or troughs. The wavelength is the physical distance between two adjacent wave compressions, while the frequency represents the number of compressions passing a fixed point per unit of time.
