- Calculate the frequency f of the wave on the string.

Transcribed Image Text:Waves on a string are described by the following general equation
y(x, t) = A cos(kx – wt).
A transverse wave on a string is traveling in the + direction with a wave speed of 9.00
m/s, an amplitude of 8.50×10-2 m, and a wavelength of 0.620 m. At time
0, the
x = 0 end of the string has its maximum upward displacement. Find the transverse
displacement y of a particle at x = 1.66 m and t = 0.150 s.
