- Homework Statement
- For an experiment investigating standing waves, the frequency is inversely proportional to the length. If you plotted a graph of frequency against inverse length and got a straight line with a constant gradient through the origin it would suggest inverse proportion, but if you got a straight line with an constant gradient that had a y-intercept (due to a systematic error) what would you call it?
- Relevant Equations
- F = k x 1/l
Would you call it an inverse relationship or a linear relationship, what is the correct terminology?
