Resonance Waves: Investigating Graphs & Errors

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on a graph related to resonance waves in resonance tubes, specifically plotting wave length against the inverse of frequency. The user is confused about the significance of the slope of the straight line graph, particularly since it does not pass through zero. This raises questions about the type of error present in the data. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding the relationship between wave properties and the implications of graph characteristics in physics. Clarifying these concepts can enhance comprehension of resonance phenomena.

:rolleyes: I am havin a bit of trouble w/ a graf here... its about resonance waves in resonance tubes and i have a straight line graph when i plot the values of length of the wave vs. 1/frequency. the problem is, i don't no what this line/slope is meant to represent? and it doesn't run through zero, wot type of error is dat calld?
cheerz miki :-p

Thread 'Mechanism of Energy Conservation in Zero-Amplitude Sum of EM Waveforms'

Assume that this is a case where by sheer coincidence, two sources of coherent single-frequency EM wave pulses with equal duration are both fired in opposing directions, with both carrying the same frequency and amplitude and orientation. These two waves meet head-on while moving in opposing directions, and their phases are precisely offset by 180 degrees so that each trough of one wave meets with the crest of the other. This should be true for both the electric and magnetic components of...
