FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Oscillation Noun
[os-uh-ley-shuhn]
Back
Oscillation
A repeating up-and-down or back-and-forth motion that follows a consistent pattern around a central point or equilibrium.
Example: The image shows a wave oscillating up and down around a central line, demonstrating oscillation.
2.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Crest Noun
[krest]
Back
Crest
The highest point or peak of a wave, representing the maximum upward displacement from the resting position.
Example: The crest is the highest point of the wave, showing maximum upward displacement.
3.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Trough Noun
[trof]
Back
Trough
The lowest point or valley of a wave, representing the maximum downward displacement from the resting position.
Example: The diagram shows a wave with the trough labeled as the lowest point, helping students understand wave structure.
4.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Still Water Level Noun
[stil waw-ter lev-uhl]
Back
Still Water Level
The level of a body of water when it is at rest, serving as the equilibrium or resting line.
Example: The image shows water in a tube at the same level on both sides, illustrating the still water level.
5.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Nodes Noun
[nohdz]
Back
Nodes
The points on a wave that have zero amplitude, where the wave crosses the equilibrium or resting line.
Example: The image shows nodes on a wave where it crosses the equilibrium line, indicating zero amplitude.
6.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Wavelength Noun
[weyv-lengkth]
Back
Wavelength
The distance between two consecutive corresponding points of a wave, such as from one crest to the next.
Example: The image shows the distance between two crests of a wave, illustrating 'wavelength'.
7.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Amplitude Noun
[am-pli-tood]
Back
Amplitude
The maximum displacement of a wave from its resting position, indicating the wave's intensity or energy.
Example: The image shows amplitude as the height from the wave's resting position to its crest, explaining wave intensity.
