Hint
Answer
Progressive wave
A progressive wave transfers energy without transferring matter
Amplitude
The maximum displacement from the equilibrium position
Time Period
The time for a whole cycle
Displacement
The distance and direction of a particle from its equilibrium position
Frequency
The number of cycles per unit time
Transverse wave
Has oscillations which are perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer
Longitudinal wave
Has oscillations which are parallel to the direction of energy transfer
Hint
Answer
Phase difference
The fraction of a cycle difference between two oscillating particles or waves
Wavelength
the minimum displacement between 2 particles which have exactly the same displacement and are traveling in the same direction
Superposition
The resultant displacement of two or more waves at a point equal to the vector sum of the individual displacement of the waves
Stationary waves
Waves which do not transfer energy
Nodes
Points of no displacement that store no energy
Anitnodes
Points of displacement that store energy
