Abstract: The effective power of an image as a teaching tool is widely known. Furthermore, when a graph is also used to describe a physical phenomenon along with its mathematical underpinning the explanation always seems better and clearer. Searching for mathematical formulas which graphs match or closely resemble a particular physical behavior is a desirable pedagogical tool to convey the essence of technical work and make it more understandable. In this respect, mathematical formulas and their graphs serve not only as a channel to teach complex phenomena but as a shortcut to avoid talking separately about diverse cases of similar nature. In this paper the authors consider the solution of a free-underdamped differential equation and its computer-generated graph to study the directivity of a loudspeaker.
