Displacement-distance graphs can be used to measure and compare the wavelength of a wave in units. The distance from peak to peak, or trough to trough, is the wavelength. Figure caption, ...

Draw a displacement-distance graph. Revise waves, which are oscillations or vibrations about a rest position. ... Sound waves cause air particles to vibrate back and forth.

Sound pressure variation of a sine wave showing the PHASE relationship between pressure and particle displacement. For other versions of this graph, see CYCLE and SIMPLE HARMONIC MOTION. It is the ...

The series of waves caused by the displacement of a large volume of water can be caused by any number of events, including earthquakes, underwater explosions, landslides or even meteorite impacts ...
