Homework Help Overview
The discussion revolves around drawing a displacement-distance graph for transverse waves, specifically addressing a problem related to wave behavior and phase shifts over time.
Discussion Character
- Exploratory, Assumption checking
Approaches and Questions Raised
- Participants discuss the properties of transverse waves, the implications of no energy loss, and the use of wave velocity to determine phase shifts. Questions arise regarding the interpretation of calculated values and their impact on graph representation.
Discussion Status
Participants are exploring the relationship between wave velocity and phase shifts, with some providing calculations and interpretations. There is a recognition of the graph's shift based on the discussed parameters, although consensus on the implications of these calculations is not explicitly stated.
Contextual Notes
The original poster references a specific question from an attachment, which may contain additional constraints or details relevant to the problem. The discussion includes calculations based on given wave properties and time intervals.

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.
