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
- 5.0 cms–1
- 0.5 cms–1
- 0.4 cms–1
- 4.0 cms–1
The correct answer is: 5.0 cms–1
