Understanding Displacement-Distance and Displacement-Time graphs of a Transverse wave
A transverse wave that you see, e.g. a water wave, can be represented on a displacement-distance(position) graph and a displacement-time graph. The two physical quantities you can determine from the displacement-distance(position) graph are: 1) amplitude, and 2) wavelength The two physical quantities you can determine from the displacement-time graph are: 1) amplitude, and 2) period Displacement-distance graph actually represents the real transverse wave. It shows the particl
