You sure they don't ?Callumnc1 said:why did they not have a point at (x,y) = (0, -3) initially?
A traveling sinusoidal wave is a type of wave that propagates through a medium, such as air or water, in a repeating pattern of crests and troughs. It is characterized by its amplitude, wavelength, and frequency.
A traveling sinusoidal wave is unique in that it exhibits a smooth and continuous oscillation, unlike other types of waves such as transverse or longitudinal waves which have a more abrupt motion. It also has a specific mathematical relationship between its amplitude, wavelength, and frequency.
Some common examples of traveling sinusoidal waves include sound waves, water waves, and electromagnetic waves such as light and radio waves. These types of waves can be observed in everyday phenomena such as music, ocean waves, and the transmission of radio and television signals.
The speed of a traveling sinusoidal wave is determined by the medium through which it is traveling. In a uniform medium, the speed is directly proportional to the wavelength and frequency of the wave. This relationship is described by the equation v = fλ, where v is the speed, f is the frequency, and λ is the wavelength.
Yes, traveling sinusoidal waves can interfere with each other when they meet. Depending on the phase relationship between the two waves, interference can result in constructive interference, where the amplitudes of the waves add together, or destructive interference, where the amplitudes cancel each other out.
