Displacement-distance A displacement-distance graph is a snapshot of the wave at any given time. You should be able to work out the wavelength of a wave from a displacement-time graph.

To identify the different parts of a wave. To be able to understand the different graphs used for waves. A transverse wave is one in which the vibrations of the particles are perpendicular (at right ...

Kinematical Graphs The ‘displacement-time’ and the ‘velocity-time’ graphs of a particle are often used to provide us with avisual representation of the motion of a particle.
