What is oscillation? A 100
An `Etude is a short complex musical composition. Another ‘tude that refers to the amount of displacement from equilibrium for any vibrating body. A 200
What is amplitude? A 200
This word describes any force that acts to bring a body back to equilibrium A 300
What is restoring? A 300
The unit of vibrational frequency has this name, and these units. A 400
During a vibration, this is directly proportional to the restoring force. A 500
The mass at the end of the pendulum string goes by this familiar man’s name. B 100
What is bob? B 100
Among many other pendulum experiments, he timed the swaying movement of a chandelier in a Pisa cathedral with his pulse. B 200
Who was Galileo? B 200
Generally speaking, this is the only factor that influences the period of a pendulum. B 300
What is the length? B 300
If on another planet, this aspect related to that planet can affect the pendulum period. B 400
At this pendulum position during its swing, restoring force and acceleration are said to be at maximum and speed is zero. B 500
What is at maximum displacement? (At equilibrium, the restoring force and acceleration are zero, and the speed is at the maximum.) B 500
This is high point in a transverse wave form (above the equilibrium). C 100
What is from one point on the wave, such as on the crest, to another analogous or related point on the wave, such as on the next crest? C 200
This describes the direction of a medium’s particle displacement, in relation to a transverse wave’s direction of travel in that medium. C 300
What is perpendicular to the wave’s direction of travel? C 300
DAILY DOUBLE DAILY DOUBLE C 400
What is energy? C 400
This wave pattern, such as in a taut string, appears to be stationary as it is it moves between fixed points. C 500
This is the type of wave form that carries sound energy. D 100
This is an area of the longitudinal wave in which the particles in the medium spread out. D 200
What is rarefaction? D 200
This name is given to the changes in pitch, perceived by someone standing still, as a siren-blasting fire engine moves towards, and then past, that person. D 300
The parts of this trigonometric wave are often compared to the portions of the sound wave. D 400
This is way a sonic boom is created as a jet breaks the sound barrier. D 500
Whatis at supersonic speeds a pressure field is confined to a region extending mostly to the rear and extending from the jet in a restricted widening cone (called a Mach cone). The sound waves combine behind the jet to form a “wake” which causes the loud boom. D 500
This is the lower part of the transverse wave form. (below the equilibrium) E 100
What is a trough? E 100
As the wavelength increases this happens to the frequency. E 200
The point in a standing wave that remain stationary, and the areas that are vibrating. (You must give both terms.) E 300
