Plotting a sine wave going wrong
显示 更早的评论
So I am trying to plot a simple sine wave, and I used the code recommended here.
% Constants
fs = 8000; % Sample rate (Hz)
duration = 1; % Duration of the signal (seconds)
frequency = 3000; % Frequency of the sine wave (Hz)
% Time vector
t = 0:1/fs:duration-1/fs;
% Generate the sine wave
x = sin(2*pi*frequency*t);
% Plot the sine wave
plot(t, x);
xlabel('Time (s)');
ylabel('Amplitude');
title('Sine Wave');
But it is a very weird plot. Why is that happening?
Here's the full plot for reference:

Hi Bhargava,
This is beacuse of high frequency.
Increasing the frequency of a sine plot leads to a higher number of oscillations. And thus these lines seems to overlap.
In figure below you can observe as term inside of sin increases, the period decreases.

You're plotting so many cycles that the blue curves all overlap and make the plot solid. Either plot fewer points, or use the zoom tool to zoom way in.
