The document discusses waves, including the meaning of wave motion, different types of waves such as transverse and longitudinal waves, and properties of waves like amplitude, period, frequency, wavelength, and wave speed. It provides examples of water, sound, and light waves and compares their characteristics. Key terms are defined, such as wavefronts and how they relate to the direction of wave propagation. The document also covers topics like loudness and amplitude, pitch and frequency, damping, and resonance.

- 19. LOUDNESS AND AMPLITUDE AMPLITUDE: The relative strength of a sound wave, or how much change in pressure occurs. LOUDNESS: The human perception of amplitude. Depends on the amplitude (or size) of the vibration.
- 20. PITCH AND FREQUENCY The pitch of the sound depends on the frequency of the vibration
- 22. DAMPING DECREASE in the amplitude of an oscillating system is called damping. (Internal damping: extension and compression of molecules External damping: frictional force/ air resistance) aโ;f=
- 24. RESONANCE Def. 1: Resonance occurs when a system is made to oscillate at a frequency equivalent to its natural frequency by an external force. The resonating system oscillates at its maximum amplitude. Def. 2: resonance is the tendency of a system to oscillate with greater amplitude at some frequenciesthan at others.
- 25. Cont. โฆ RESONANCE natural frequency is the rate at which an object vibrates when it is not disturbed by an outside force Frequencies at which the response amplitude is a relative maximum are known as the system's resonant frequencies, or resonance frequencies. At these frequencies, even small periodic driving forces can produce large amplitude oscillations, because the system stores vibrational energy. Example
