Simple Harmonic Motion
Frequency-the rate at which a vibration occurs that constitutes a wave, either in a material (as in sound waves), or in an electromagnetic field
period-the interval of time between successive occurrences of the same state in an oscillatory or cyclic phenomenon
Amplitude-the maximum extent of a vibration or oscillation, measured from the position of equilibrium.

-
restoritive force-the restoring force is a force which acts to bring a body to its equilibrium position. The restoring force is a function only of position of the mass or particle

types of waves
-
-
wavelength-the distance between successive crests of a wave,
crest- is the point on a wave with the maximum value of upward displacement within a cycle
trough- point is at a minimum
compression-is a region in a longitudinal wave where the particles are closest together.
electromagnetic waves- n physics, electromagnetic radiation refers to the waves of the electromagnetic field,
rarefaction-s the reduction of an item's density,
mechanical-A mechanical wave is a wave that is an oscillation of matter, and therefore transfers energy through a medium
Standing waves-is a wave which oscillates in time but whose peak amplitude profile does not move in space.
wave interference-wo waves superpose to form a resultant wave of greater, lower, or the same amplitude
constructive waves- two waves of identical wavelength are in phase, they form a new wave with an amplitude equal to the sum of their individual amplitudes
Example- ripples in water
-
destructive waves-If a crest of one wave meets a trough of another wave, then the amplitude is equal to the difference in the individual amplitudes
example- noise canceling headphones
