  1. 5. harmonic motion Simple harmonic motion is a periodic motion where the restoring force is directly proportional and opposite to the displacement, resulting in oscillations about an equilibrium position.
  2. 7. wave wave pattern that appears stationary formed by interfering waves traveling in opposite direction
  3. 8. highest point of a wave
  4. 9. interference Waves canceling each other out due to being out of phase.
  5. 10. interference: Constructive interference occurs when two or more waves overlap and their amplitudes add together, resulting in a larger amplitude wave.
  6. 13. way a wave or disturbance travels through a medium or space
  7. 15. a repetitive band-and-forth motion or fluctuation
  8. 16. the number of occurrences of a repeating event per unit of time

  1. 1. a substance or material through which a wave travels
  2. 2. displacement of a wave from its equilibrium point indicating its intesity
  3. 3. wave propagates through a medium
  4. 4. Wavelength is the spatial period of a periodic wave—the distance over which the wave's shape repeats.
  5. 6. The time it takes for one complete cycle to occur
  6. 11. lowest point of a wave
  7. 12. wave A transverse wave is a wave where the oscillations are perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation
  8. 14. wave: A longitudinal wave is a wave where the oscillations are parallel to the direction of wave propagation.
