Oscilloscope qn?

Question

i have two diagrams here.

one has a wave that is totally straight, the other looks like a transverse wave.

vertical deflection : 5V/cm

time-base setting: 2ms/cm

Qn: deduce as much as you can about the output from each wave. ( just write any thing you can think of)

Answer 1

Well,

The first wave is a DC signal with a magnitude that only you know because only you have the diagram of how much deflection it has from the 0 line.

The second wave sounds like an AC wave, which will have some frequency that we cannot help you with, because you have not given us enough information to interpret the oscilloscope trace.  It has an amplitude that we can also not determine, because only you have the oscilloscope trace for that information, too.

Answer 2

I have no idea what a transverse wave it.

transverse |transˈvərs; tranz-|

adjective

situated or extending across something : a transverse beam supports the dashboard.

"wave that is totally straight"

in which direction?

horizontal, means the signal is DC
