A wave, propagating along the x direction according to Equation (x, t) = A sin(kx - vt + f) , has a maximum displacement of 4.0 cm at x = 0 and t =0. The wave speed is 5.0 cm/s, and the wavelength is 7.0 cm. (a) What is the frequency? (b) What is the wave’s amplitude at x =10 cm and t =13 s?
Two waves are described by
Y1=0.39 sin[z( 6x-220t)]
and
y2 = 0.39 sin[a(6x - 220t) + T/ 5],
where y1. y2, and x are in meters and t is in seconds. When these two waves are combined, a traveling wave is produced. What are the
(a) amplitude, (b) wave speed, and (c) wavelength of that traveling wave?
