Zeth Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 I was thinking of how to represent this on a graph with (0,0) being the source of the wave. After some though I came up with: y=x^2*y^2*t*(w-Vsin[theta])+x^2*y^2(Vsin[theta]-w) t= time w= speed of wave in the medium v= velocity [theta]= angle taken at right angle to motion counter clockwise. This is probably wrong but I can't find it on google and got too bogged down to think it through again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5614 Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 How did you work that equation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeth Posted March 28, 2005 Author Share Posted March 28, 2005 How did you work that equation? If by work you mean work out, I did it in my head. If by work if you mean how does it work, I don't know if it does, I'll have to try it out on the software at school to see if it does anything right. Since I can't get there till next week that's why I posted here first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 You need to show the derivation really; we can't help without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
