I really need help with drawing displacement-distance graph for waves. The question is in the attached file. It is Q9 c. Thank you very much.
How do I draw a displacement-distance graph for waves?

To draw a displacement-distance graph for a transverse wave, it's essential to understand that no energy is lost, and the apparent velocity of the wave is provided. By applying the definition of velocity, the phase shift can be calculated after a specific time interval, in this case, 0.05 seconds. The calculation yields a shift of 0.60 meters, indicating that the graph has indeed shifted by this distance. This understanding confirms the relationship between velocity, displacement, and time in wave motion. The discussion emphasizes the importance of these principles in accurately representing wave behavior.

Hey there!
Well, this is a transverse wave and they tell you that no energy is lost or anything like that, and also they give you the apparent velocity of the wave. Perhaps using the definition of velocity will give you the phase shift of this graph after .05 seconds?
$$V = \frac {ds}{dt} \Rightarrow Vt = s$$

I got 0.60 as the answer, does this indicate that the graph has shifted 0.60m as a result??Rellek said:

Yup! Same graph, shifted .6 meters.
