The maximum displacement from equilibrium
A unit of frequency
Natural frequency
The number of oscillations per unit of time
Period
The state that exists when a system is subject to driven oscillations at its natural frequency
A force that acts to bring an object back to equilibrium
Simple Harmonic Motion
Motion that occurs when the force pushing or pulling an object toward the equilibrium position is proportional to the object’s displacement from that position
Simple Pendulum
The highest point on a wave
Antinode
A wave in which the particles oscillate at right angles to the direction in which the wave travels
Crest
A point of maximum displacement on a standing wave
Constructive interference
A wave in which the particles oscillate parallel to the direction in which the wave travels
Interference that occurs when waves combine to form a smaller wave
Mechanical wave
A point on a standing wave that does not move
Node
The combined result of adding the amplitudes of overlapping waves
Standing wave
A wave that oscillates in a fixed location
Trough
The distance from one crest to the next or from one trough to the next
