Chapter 16: Q. 6 (page 451)

Draw the snapshot graph D(x, t = 0 s) at t = 0 s for the wave shown in FIGURE EX16.6.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The snapshot graph of the wave has been shown

Step by step solution

01

Write the given information 

The history graph of the wave is given at distance x=2m
The velocity of the wave is given as v= 1 m/.sec
The wave is traveling to the right.

02

To draw the snapshot graph of the wave at time t= 0 sec 

A snapshot graph shows the displacement of the wave with respect to the position at a given time whereas a history graph shows the displacement of the wave with respect to the time at a given position.


Analyze the history graph

  • With every second, the wave travels 1-meter to the right
  • In 4 seconds, the wave would travel 4-meters


The snapshot graph is shown below.
