2. The wave function for a traveling wave on a taut string is (in SI units):
y(x,t) = (0.350 m) cos 10 nt – 3 n x –
(a) What are the speed and direction of travel of the wave?
(b) What is the vertical displacement of the string at t = 0, x = 0.100 m?
(c) What are the wavelength and frequency of the wave?
(d) For x = 0, sketch y(t) between t = 0 and t = 0.4.
(Hint: make a table of values and then plot points on a graph.)
