Characterstics of wave
Question

Two graphs of the same harmonic wave are shown below. The graph (1) on the left shows the displacement of wave y, as a function of position x for a given instant of time. The graph ( 2 ) on the right shows the displacement of wave as a function of time 't' for a given position. The speed of the wave is

Easy
Solution

From graph (1), Wavelength (λ)=4 cm

From graph (2), Time period (T) = 0.8 s

v==λ/T=4/0.8=5 cm s1
