graphing waves and particles

Question 1

what 2 values can u calculate from a displacement-distance graph

Answer 1

amplitude
wavelength

Question 2

The displacement-distance graph tells us the

Answer 2

position of points in the wave, for a moment frozen in time

Question 3

what is a particle wave cycle

Answer 3

one complete oscillation of the particle about its equilibrium position

Question 4

what is a particle wave period

Answer 4

the time taken for one full oscillation to be completed

Question 5

what does a displacement-time graph show

Answer 5

the displacement of a single bead over a period of time

Question 6

what can u calculate using a displacement-time graph

Answer 6

amplitude
period
frequency

Question 7

in a longitudinal displacement time graph if the wave is moving from left to right
As the y coordinate on the graph increases, this represents particles moving further

Answer 7

right

Question 8

in a longitudinal displacement time graph if the wave is moving from left to right
As the y coordinate on the graph decreases, this represents particles moving further

Answer 8

left

Question 9

When we represent a longitudinal wave on a graph, a negative displacement value means that the particle has moved

Answer 9

against the direction of wave travel
