Question
Transcribed Image Text:The image contains a graph depicting the displacement of a wave as a function of time at a fixed position. The vertical axis represents displacement \( y(t) \) in meters, ranging from -1.0 m to 1.0 m. The horizontal axis represents time \( t \) in seconds, spanning from 0 to 14 seconds.
The wave follows a sinusoidal pattern, oscillating between 1.0 m and -1.0 m. Notably, the wave completes a full cycle approximately every 6 seconds (e.g., from 0 to 6 seconds).
Underneath the graph, the question "What is the wavelength of the wave?" is posed, with the following answer options:
- 3.00 m
- 6.00 m
- 9.00 m
- 12.0 m
- Unable to determine based on information in graph
A red box indicates that the answer selected is "3.00 m."
