waves
Simple Harmonic Motion
Types of Waves
Amplitude
the absolute value of the maximum displacement from a zero value during one period of an oscillation.
Period
time required for one complete cycle of vibration to pass a given point
Cycle
Equilibrium
Frequency
Restorative Force
Simple Harmonic Motion
2 examples of Simple Harmonic Motion in real life
It is a force that acts to bring a body to its equilibrium position. The mass or particle, and it is always directed back toward the equilibrium position of the system.
the condition of a system when neither its state of motion nor its internal energy state tends to change with time
a single change from up to down to up, or as a change from positive, to negative to positive
the number of waves that pass a fixed point in unit time, also, the number of cycles or vibrations undergone during one unit of time by a body in periodic motion
When we speak of a vibration or oscillation, we mean the motion of an object that repeats itself, back and forth, over the same path.

Electromagnetic Waves
2 real life example
1) ripples on the surface of water.
2) vibrations in a guitar string
Velocity
Crest
Wavelength
Trough
the distance between successive crests of a wave, especially points in a sound wave or electromagnetic wave.
the speed of something in a given direction.
the point on a wave with the greatest positive value or upward displacement in a cycle
is the opposite of a crest.
Compression
Rarefaction
2 real life examples Clapping and Earthquake.
wave interference
occur when two waves that are traveling in opposite directions meet
Constructive Interference
The crests combine to produce a wave with greater amplitude

when you have two speakers facing each other. Then, play the same music at the same time.
Destructive Interferences
Standing Waves
These are waves that appear to be standing still. Standing waves occur because of a combination of constructive and destructive interference.

troughs cancel each other out to produce a wave with zero amplitude.
