Converting a Longitudinal Wave Displacement-Time Graph into a …
2006年9月2日 · A displacement-time graph shows the change in position of an object over time, while a distance graph shows the total distance traveled by an object over time. The speed of an object can be determined from a longitudinal wave displacement-time graph by calculating the slope or using the formula Speed = Distance/Time.
Wavefronts and Longitudinal Waves Displacement-Time Graph
2011年9月1日 · 3. What is a longitudinal wave displacement-time graph? A longitudinal wave displacement-time graph is a visual representation of how the displacement of particles in a medium changes over time as a longitudinal wave passes through it. The displacement is measured from the equilibrium position of the particles. 4.
Choose the correct snapshot graph longitudinal waves - Physics …
2015年2月27日 · In a snapshot graph of a longitudinal wave, the wave will appear as a series of compressions and rarefactions. The distance between each compression or rarefaction represents the wavelength of the wave, and the amplitude of the wave is the distance between the crest (highest point) and trough (lowest point) of the wave.
Compressions and rarefactions of a wave - Physics Forums
2017年1月16日 · The initiating point of the graph can be considered as a point with maximum displacement. We know that the motionsum of these particles are harmonic motions.So once a particle undergoes maximum displacement, it has no option but to move back towards the centre of oscillation, that is the initial position.
Displacement-distance vs Displacement-time graphs for waves
2016年2月29日 · With a wave like ##y=A\sin kx## you can see that the displacement (y) varies with distance (x) from some origin, but it does not vary with time. The the displacement-distance graph would be a sine wave, while the displacement …
Displacement v Time graph for a wave - Physics Forums
2013年2月24日 · The graph represents the displace of a particle of a spring that has a mechanical wave passing through it The graph is just a simple sine wave. It then asks to describe the displacement of the particle compared to the velocity of the wave and then state and explain whether the wave is longitudinal or transverse. Homework Equations
Exploring the Phenomenon of Longitudinal Standing Waves
2021年2月3日 · A longitudinal standing wave is a type of wave that occurs when two waves with the same frequency and amplitude travel in opposite directions and interfere with each other. This creates a pattern of nodes and antinodes where the particles of the medium vibrate back and forth, but do not move in a net direction.
Amplitudes of longitudinal sound waves - Physics Forums
2020年9月10日 · When I imagine a longitudinal wave with higher amplitude I imagine it causing "more compression" of the particles of the medium and "more rarefaction" of the particles. Looking at just compression, wouldn't the particles have to "stray further" from their original rest position in order to move closer and collide more with the next particles in ...
What will happen if light is longitudinal wave? - Physics Forums
2015年3月24日 · In an imaginary world, if the equivalent of light was a longitudinal wave, probably we would see sounds rather than lights. This is already possible in biomedics with ultrasounds to see through the tissues by echoes; moreover raising up with frequency, about some Th, the wavelength of ultrasound becomes comparable to the light one.
Longitudinal waves on a string - Physics Forums
2021年4月8日 · Longitudinal waves on a string are typically measured and represented using a graph of displacement versus time. The amplitude of the wave represents the maximum displacement of the string, while the wavelength is the distance between two consecutive points of maximum displacement.
