all the solution is there, but i just don't understand the answer to part B.
for part B, why is the sign negative?
for part B, why is the sign negative?
A phase constant graph is a graphical representation of the phase constant, also known as the phase angle, of a wave. It shows how the phase of a wave changes over time or distance.
A phase constant graph differs from a regular graph in that it plots the phase angle of a wave rather than its amplitude. It is also usually plotted on a polar coordinate system rather than a Cartesian coordinate system.
The phase constant graph can be interpreted by looking at the angle at which the curve intersects the horizontal axis. This angle represents the phase angle of the wave at a specific time or distance. It can also be used to determine the phase difference between two waves.
The phase constant of a wave is directly related to its frequency. As the frequency of a wave increases, the phase angle also increases. This means that the wave completes more cycles in a given time, resulting in a larger phase angle on the graph.
Phase constant graphs are commonly used in the study of waves and wave phenomena, such as in the fields of physics, engineering, and astronomy. They can help researchers understand the behavior and properties of waves, as well as make predictions and calculations based on wave behavior.
