Wave Phenomena

Constructive Interference: Is when two crests from two different sources meet and the energies combine. Destructive Interference: Is when a crest and trough meet and the energies combined work against eachother. Standing Wave: Is when interfering waves have the same amplitude and wavelength to create a pattern that remains nearly stationary. Nodes are points that […]

Pulse Wave: Is a wave that occurs by a one time disturbance or one event. Periodic Wave: Is a wave that reoccurs in specific intervals or has regularly repeating disturbances. Longitudinal Waves: Is a wave that occurs when a spring is compressed and released, the disturbance is in the same direction as which the wave […]
