Unfortunately, I cannot draw pictures as a text-based AI. However, I can describe to you how the resulting shape of the medium will look like at 1, 2, 3, and 4 seconds later.
Assuming that the waves are traveling in a straight line and are simple harmonic waves, the resulting shape of the medium at each second will be as follows:
1 second later: The wave would have traveled by 1 grid unit. If it is a transverse wave, the medium would appear to have moved up or down by 1 unit from its original position. If it is a longitudinal wave, the medium particles would appear to have compressed or expanded by 1 unit from their original position.
2 seconds later: The wave would have traveled by 2 grid units. If it is a transverse wave, the medium would appear to have moved up or down by 2 units from its original position. If it is a longitudinal wave, the medium particles would appear to have compressed or expanded by 2 units from their original position.
3 seconds later: The wave would have traveled by 3 grid units. If it is a transverse wave, the medium would appear to have moved up or down by 3 units from its original position. If it is a longitudinal wave, the medium particles would appear to have compressed or expanded by 3 units from their original position.
4 seconds later: The wave would have traveled by 4 grid units. If it is a transverse wave, the medium would appear to have moved up or down by 4 units from its original position. If it is a longitudinal wave, the medium particles would appear to have compressed or expanded by 4 units from their original position.
Keep in mind that the actual shape of the resulting medium depends on the properties of the wave (transverse or longitudinal) and the specific amplitude and frequency of the wave.
Given that the speed of the waves shown are 1 grid unit per second, draw the resulting shape of the medium
1, 2, 3, and 4 seconds later.
