This graph represents a wave with four units of energy at a certain frequency. Wave with 4 Units of Energy Displacement (m) 8 6 4 2 0 -2 -4 -6 -8 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Time (s) Describe a new graph that represents a wave with four times greater energy but the same frequency. Include the amplitude, frequency, and the highest and lowest displacement values.

Step 1
This means that if we want a wave with four times greater energy, we need to double the amplitude of the original wave. So, if the original wave had an amplitude of 4 units (as it seems from the given values), the new wave should have an amplitude of 8 units. Show more…

The two graphs below show two snapshot graphs of ocean waves. The wave is moving to the right at the lowest speed consistent with the images. Find the values of the following quantities for the wave depicted: its amplitude, its wavelength, its speed, its frequency. b) Draw a snapshot graph of the wave at t = 3 s. Explain the difference between longitudinal and transverse waves. Give an example of each.
