A Wave Is Traveling with a Speed V Along the X

question 190

Multiple Choice

  A wave is traveling with a speed v along the x axis in the positive direction, as shown in the figure. The upper graph shows the displacement y versus the distance x for a given instant of time. The lower graph shows the displacement y versus the time t for any given point x. From the information in the graphs, what is the wave speed v? A)  8.0 m/s B)  4.0 m/s C)  6.0 m/s D)  There is not enough information to solve the problem. E)  None of these is correct.
