I had today an exam.

I that exam this graph they said represent a sound wave. Is this graph correct representing a sound wave in a medium? My interrogation is about y/m as a function of x/m!

No help! Is this a nonsense question?
 
well, i guess no, it's not right, as sound waves are compressive waves, not like electromagnetic that look like that(or more or less like that).
