Question

A water pulse on deep water has a small dip and a main pulse. This is shown in the photo of the wave at one instant, in Figure A below. The wave is traveling to the right. pulse is a transverse wave and moves at a constant velocity without changing its shape. (Graphs in this problem are idealized as straight lines. More realistic graphs would be smoother and without kinks. But the lines simplify figuring out the answers.) 3.1 If it had the right axis labels and scale, which graph in the set below might appropriately represent the vertical displacement of a buoy at x = 0 as a function of time, as the wave passed it? 3.2 If it had the right axis labels and scale, which graph might represent the vertical velocity of the as a function of time? 3.3 If it had the right axis labels and scale, which graph might represent the vertical velocity of the as a function of space (that is, the velocity pattern at the instant of time represented by A)?

Explanation / Answer

3.1) The answer will be the graph D.

3.2)  The answer will be the graph G

3.3)  The answer will be the graph H
