Michael Jonathan Dr. Hugh Williams PHYS 414-401 23 January 2019 Basic Function Plot

The document contains code to generate two plots using the matplotlib library in Python. The first plot generates 100 x-values from 0 to pi and calculates the sine of each value to plot a basic sine wave. The second plot calculates the relativistic mass of an electron based on its velocity as a fraction of the speed of light from 0 to 0.99 and plots the relationship. Both plots are saved as image files and displayed.

Basic Function Plot
Plot 1
# Load the numpy library
import numpy as np

#Load the math library


import math

# Load the the pyplot library giving it the nickname "plt" for short
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# Create an array of 100 linearly-spaced points from 0 to 9


x = np.linspace(0,math.pi,100)
print ("x=",x)

# Calculation the sin of the numbers in the array


y = np.sin(x)
print ("y=",y)

# Create the "plot" in memory (doesn't draw it yet)


plt.plot(x,y)

# Adding Labels
plt.title('Michael Jonathan')
plt.xlabel('Angle [radians]')
plt.ylabel('Magnitude of Displacement [mm]')

# Save the plot in a file


# I have no idea why, but this needs to be before the "show" command?!
plt.savefig('basicfunctionplot.png')

# Draw the plot to the screen


plt.show()
