Draw a wave that has a wavelength of 3 cm and an amplitude of 1 cm. Label the wavelength, the amplitude, the rest position, and the crest and trough of your wave.

Please find attached, the required wave drawn with MS Excel

Explanation:

Functions that represent waves is given as follows

A general form of the wave equation is A·sin(B·x) + D

Where;

B = 2·π/T

T = The period of the wave = 1/f

D = The vertical shift of the wave = 0

A = The amplitude of the wave = 1 for sine wave

v = The wave velocity

λ = The wavelength of the wave

f = The frequency of the wave

v = f·λ

At constant v, λ ∝ 1/f  

∴ λ ∝ T

Where T = 3, we have;

B = 2·π/T

∴ B = 2·π/3

Therefore, we have the wave with an amplitude of 1 cm, and wavelength, 3 cm, given as follows

y = sin((2·π/3)·x)

Plotting the above wave with MS Excel, we can get the attached wave

we need answer choices

the force on the thing and the distance the force moves the thing
