Homework Help Overview
The original poster is seeking information about the measurements for amplitude and wavelength of a radio wave in order to create a snapshot and history graph. They express uncertainty about how to accurately represent the wave and whether there are specific guidelines for drawing it.
Discussion Character
- Exploratory, Conceptual clarification
Approaches and Questions Raised
- Some participants discuss the nature of radio waves as electromagnetic waves and mention the relationship between frequency and wavelength. Others question the type of radio signal (AM or FM) the original poster intends to depict and suggest looking up related concepts such as signal strength and modulation.
Discussion Status
The discussion is ongoing, with participants providing insights into the characteristics of radio waves and suggesting resources for further understanding. There is no explicit consensus, but several lines of inquiry are being explored regarding the representation of the wave.
Contextual Notes
Participants note that signal strengths can vary significantly and mention typical received field amplitudes. The original poster's uncertainty about the y-axis displacement and units indicates a need for further clarification on measurement standards.
