What are the features of a graph of displacement as a function of time?
In this post, we learn to construct and/or interpret graphs of displacement as a function of time and as a function of the position of transverse and longitudinal waves, as a part of the Prelim Physics course under the module Waves and Thermodynamics and sub-part Wave Properties. We learn to relate the features of those graphs to the following wave characteristics: velocity, frequency, period, wavelength, displacement and amplitude.
The following video goes through every feature of a longitudinal and transverse wave graph.
