Edexcel large dataset: histograms for GCSE, IGCSE, AS, A Level, GCE OL, GCE A L, IB

A histogram represents continuous grouped data as a running total in each group.
The area of a each bar, as opposed to the height of each bar, represents the frequency of each group or bar.
The greater the area, the greater the frequency.
Since classes are not of equal width, as this is the case in a bar chart, 
the y-axis represents the frequency density, instead of frequency of a given set of data.
frequency density = frequency / class width

You can practise histograms with the following applet:

Phase Difference between Two Points on a Wave and Path Difference Explained - interactive

-
Image
  In the above animation, five points on the wave are considered for the explanation.  The fully interactive applet is given below for you to practise. The phase of a point implies its direction of vibration on a wave. For example, both points A and E vibrate exactly the same way are said to be in phase: when A goes up so does B; the phase difference is either 0 0 or 360 0 . If you consider the motion of points A and C, on the other hand, when A goes down C goes up or vice versa. Therefore, A and C are said to be out of phase; the phase difference is 180 0 . That means the phase difference between two points on a wave - or two waves for that matter - can take any value between 0 0 and 360 0 .  The phase difference between points A and B, for instance, is 90 0 . From the above examples, it is clear there is a connection between the path difference between two points - or two waves - and phase difference. It is as follows: Phase difference = (path difference / wavelength) x 360 φ = x
