Ah I misread that question. I thought it was asking what the displacement graph would look like 4 seconds later. But rather, what they're asking is about how the point X on the far right of the diagram given would move over the course of the next 4 seconds. We know that the wave will travel 4 metres in 1 second.Thanks a lot ^.^
Btw,the ans to that ques is B ( I thought D too).. I'm attaching the screenshot of Examiner report .. see if it makes sense to you if it does then explain me too
At t=1:
The pulse will move like this. This explains why the point X remains stationary from t=0 to t=1.
As the wave continues traveling to the right now, you must imagine how X will move. It will move down, then up all the way, then back down. I'm sorry if this didn't make sense but I don't know how to explain the moving image I have in my mind
This leaves only A and B as choices. A is moving too slow, by t=2, the pulse would have long disappeared on the right.
