Oscillations, waves and sound

Simple harmonic motion, pendulums, resonance and damping, then the physics of sound: intensity and decibels, the Doppler effect, standing waves, beats and hearing.

Five cards from this deck

Taken from the published archive, unedited. A deck page that shows no card says nothing.

  • Front acoustic impedance
    Back property of medium that makes the propagation of sound waves more difficult
  • Front antinode
    Back the location of maximum amplitude in standing waves
  • Front beat frequency
    Back the frequency of the amplitude fluctuations of a wave
  • Front bow wake
    Back V-shaped disturbance created when the wave source moves faster than the wave propagation speed
  • Front constructive interference
    Back when two waves arrive at the same point exactly in phase; that is, the crests of the two waves are precisely aligned, as are the troughs

This deck was modified when it was brought in: Entries were taken from the end-of-chapter glossaries of chapters 16, 17 and gathered into one deck; the chapter structure of the book is not reproduced. HTML formatting was stripped to plain text, and superscripts and subscripts were converted to the corresponding Unicode characters so that a charge or an index is not lost (H⁺, not H+; T₄, not T4). An entry was dropped when its definition is shorter than 30 characters or longer than 400 characters, when it contains an image, a table or a mathematical formula that is not reproduced here, when it refers to a figure, a table or another chapter, when it is dated by wording such as "currently" or "as of", when it is a bare cross-reference to another term, or when a superscript could not be converted faithfully. Duplicates were removed on the term and on the definition alike, both compared after lowercasing, removing parentheses and reducing plurals to singulars; a term or a definition already used by another Memoquiz deck built from OpenStax was dropped as well. Each deck is capped at 150 entries and holds at least 30. The wording of every definition that was kept is unchanged.
